At Wake Forest, we foster an inclusive learning community where all matter, belong, and thrive. We cannot create this community when individuals experience an incident, based on their identity, that may have stereotyped, excluded, or harmed them. The Bias Incident Response Team (BIRT) provides support, education, and referrals to individuals who have been impacted by such an incident.
Bias Incident Report Form
When should I report?
When you experience or witness something that you think is biased, the University should know about.
This site serves as a communication channel for members of our community to share their experiences with us. Even if you’re not sure if what you witnessed or experienced was bias-related, we still want to hear from you.
What happens next?
The Bias Incident Response Team (BIRT) and University Police simultaneously receive your report. University Police reviews the situation for danger of imminent harm.
The BIRT, composed of representatives from Campus Life, Academic Affairs, and Diversity & Inclusion, reviews the report and will reach out to you to offer support and learn more about the incident.
Incidents that violate University policies are referred to the appropriate accountability system for further investigation.
