Bias Incident Report


The form below may be used to report a bias incident or hate crime occurring in the Bellevue College community.

  • A bias incident is conduct, speech, or behavior motivated by prejudice or a bias toward another person that does not rise to the level of a crime. Bias incidents violate college policy and should be reported.
  • Hate crimes must meet two criteria: (1) a crime must occur, such as physical assault, intimidation, or arson, and (2) the crime must be motivated by bias or prejudice. A hate crime is motivated in whole or in part by the offender’s bias towards the victim’s status based on race, color, religion, ethnic/national origin, gender expression, sex, age, disability or sexual orientation identities.

The Bias Incident Response and Support Team (BIRST) will coordinate the College’s response and act as advocates for persons affected by such incidents. Bellevue College is committed to creating and sustaining a safe inclusive environment for everyone.

If this is an emergency, please call 911. An incident involving personal safety or endangerment should be reported immediately to BC Public Safety (425-466-9365) and/or the Bellevue Police Department.

If you have any questions related to filing a report, please contact the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (425) 564-2268 or email beabe.akpojovwo@bellevuecollege.edu.
