Training
As stated in its Notice of Nondiscrimination, Smith College is committed to maintaining a diverse community in an atmosphere of mutual respect and appreciation of differences.
The purpose of the Bias Response Team is to support the college’s efforts to maintain an inclusive campus climate by establishing a mechanism by which it responds to bias incidents. The Bias Response Team is not a mechanism for investigative or disciplinary action. However, it enables the college to track bias incidents, collect aggregate data, identify educational responses, and connect individuals affected by bias incidents with supportive resources.
