Boston College is committed to addressing incidents of bias and appreciates your assistance in bringing these incidents to our attention. This form can be completed by either victims of bias, by witnesses to such incidents, or by students, faculty and staff members to whom others have reported incident(s). Please include as much information as possible.

If you believe that you have been a target or a witness to a hate crime we encourage you to contact the Boston College Police (BCPD) at 617-552-4444 or other designated authorities before using this form. See either the "If you have been a target of a hate crime" or the "If you have been a witness of a hate crime" section of the Hate Crime and Bias-Related Incident Protocol for further information about what should be reported and how to do so.

Reports will be kept confidential to the extent possible unless it requires judicial or administrative action. Once the form is complete it will be sent to the Executive Director of the Office for Institutional Diversity at patricia.lowe@bc.edu and to Student Affairs.
