Summary

Cornell University is committed to maintaining a bias-free climate based on civility, decency, and respect. 

Cornell University prohibits its faculty, administrative and academic staff members, postdocs, and undergraduate and graduate students from engaging in any form of prohibited discrimination protected-status, harassment, sexual harassment, and sexual assault/violence, and expects these individuals to refrain from committing acts of discrimination, bias, or sexual assault/violence within the university’s jurisdiction. 

Reporting, understanding, and preventing unacceptable behaviors such as bias is essential to maintaining our caring community.

For a better understanding of the process, students can review the Student Assessment and Review Process flow chart and faculty and staff can review the Bias Tracking at Cornell flow chart.
