I am writing to help increase awareness in our community of the support the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIEC)提供博彩平台推荐的校园, particularly during times of conflict like we’ve seen recently with the Israel-Hamas war.

为什么OIEC的支持很重要
Since the Israel-Hamas war began, we have seen an increase in anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim harassment at CU Boulder. This reflects a broader national pattern observed across college campuses. Individual perspectives on this issue vary widely, influenced by diverse historical experiences, 身份和信仰. 情绪是带电的, 但是诉诸于骚扰, intimidation and hate as forms of expressing disagreement is unacceptable and contributes to suffering and injustice.
大学政策 reflect federal civil rights protections that strive to ensure nondiscrimination in 教育 and the workplace. Recently, the Department of 教育 Office for Civil Rights issued this 简报 in response to the rise in ethnic and ancestral harassment.
How OIEC supports our campus
OIEC is where people can report a wide range of identity-based harassment and be connected to 支持资源, including confidential services, offered by other offices. For anyone feeling immediately threatened or in need of support, there are 各种帮助方式 for crimes or safety-related incidents, 专门的警察服务, crisis support and emergency preparedness.
When identity-based discrimination and harassment is reported to OIEC, you can expect that OIEC will initiate a formal resolution process when an incident rises to the level of being severe, 持续的, 或无处不在, while also ensuring that all parties receive fairness and due process. 另外, when formal resolutions are not appropriate, the OIEC may undertake informal or 教育al interventions to address unwelcome or offensive behaviors based on identity. The goal is to stop such behaviors, ensure safety and support for those affected, and seek to repair any harm caused.
报告什么
大学政策 保护所有学生免受 discrimination and harassment based on identity, including race, color, national origin, sex, gender, disability and religion. This protection extends to students of all religious backgrounds, including but not limited to the Buddhist, 基督教, 印度教, 犹太人, 穆斯林和锡克教信仰.
Behavior directed at a person, 或者是一群人, based on their actual or perceived racial, ethnic or ancestral identity may be considered discriminatory when it includes things such as:
- 诽谤或刻板印象
- Harassment for how someone looks, 包括肤色, 发型, 或者其他身体特征, or style of dress that reflects both ethnic and religious traditions
- Harassment for how someone speaks, linked to ethnicity or ancestry, including names commonly associated with shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics, speaking a language other than English, or speaking with a foreign accent
Some speech within an institution of higher 教育 normally does not constitute discrimination, including peaceful protest and speech on matters of political, social or academic matters—even if the content of that speech may offend those who hear it. If you are unsure whether to report something as possible discrimination, please report it so that OIEC may respond.
互相关心
Policy alone will not keep these harms from occurring, nor does it automatically create a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. This is a shared responsibility. Engaging in dialogue, disagreement and protest in a thoughtful and respectful manner is vital. There is much suffering in the world and in our community, and the OIEC encourages everyone to take care of themselves and each other and contribute to a community of compassion and repair.
真诚地,
