Learn about the Bias Response and Referral Network

Bias incidents happen at the University of Minnesota, as they do across the country. Such incidents undermine the University’s efforts toward equity and inclusivity. They limit our community’s ability to excel in our teaching and learning, our research, and our service to our communities and state. They also impede free and open discourse and our ability to know and learn from one another. Biased and hateful expression causes harm and fractures in our campus community that must be addressed.

The Bias Response and Referral Network (BRRN), along with other campus partners, works to respond to bias incidents on the Twin Cities Campus in ways that support those most impacted, promote education and dialogue, and affirm the University's commitment to equity and diversity, free speech, and academic freedom.

The Minnesota Student Association created an informational video about the Bias Response and Referral Network as part of the "We all belong here" campaign. Members of the Twin Cities campus community and visitors to campus can report bias incidents to the BRRN by:

• Submitting a report using UReport
• Calling the BRRN at 612-314-3850
• Reaching out to a member of the BRRN
• Emailing endbias@umn.edu
