What is a bias incident?
A bias incident targets an individual based on their age, color, religion, disability (physical or mental), race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, or veteran status, as identified in the student code of conduct.
Students, postdocs, faculty, and staff at Albert Einstein College of Medicine are expected to respect the rights and dignity of other students, faculty, and staff.
What should you do if you witness or experience a bias incident?
See it? Hear it? Report it. If you witness or experience a bias incident, you may contact the Compliant Hotline or call 1(800) 662-8595 to make a report. All Einstein students, faculty, and staff may use the Complaint Hotline to make reports. Using the compliant hotline provides you with the option of filing a report anonymously. Anonymous reports are usually difficult to investigated, but all reports will be fully investigated and the report is normally informed of the outcome of the investigation.
If you are a student or postdoc looking to report a bias-based incident that happened to you, please complete the Report Bias or Mistreatment Form for Students/Postdocs which goes directly to the ombuds committee for students. You may also contact Yvonne Ramirez, Title IX Officer, or in her absence, Allison Ludwig, Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
