Response to the APIDA #3 Demand We demand the University actively work to create an environment that allows marginalized students to feel comfortable reporting offenses against the Anti-Discrimination Policy by being more intentional in combating hate incidents.
a. Create a committee with student representation to overhaul the
Anti-Discrimination Policy stipulations and enforcement, and a streamlined
process of reporting offenses against the Anti-Discrimination Policy and
getting assistance.
b. Publicize information regarding the Anti-Discrimination Policy that is easy to
understand in terms of processes, consequences for violations, and
students’ rights, etc. relating to the Anti-Discrimination Policy.
c. Make resources available to connect students to higher levels of local and
state law enforcement to report instances of hate crimes when possible (or
“ethnic intimidation” as per Michigan Penal Code Act 328 of 1931, section
750.147b).
*The areas the ICI Task Force for Inclusive Education, Training and Programming is addressing the above items in bold.
