Since 2000, Cornell University has had a program to track bias that is occurring on all campuses in an effort to be proactive in creating an inclusive climate for all. In addition to university-wide civil rights compliance, COCR is responsible for collecting and tracking all reported bias activity that occurs at Cornell University that could potentially impact our commitment to diversity and inclusion, including all reports made by faculty, staff, students, and visitors to the Ithaca and Cornell Tech campuses. The Office of Institutional Equity at Weill Cornell Medicine is responsible for collecting and tracking all reported bias activity that occurs at the Weill Cornell Medicine campus.

Anyone who directly witnesses or experiences bias activity (or finds evidence of or hears about past bias activity) on the Cornell campus or in an area that impacts the Cornell community should intervene in the moment as appropriate (e.g., contact Campus Police at 911, if a crime is in progress, or interrupt the behavior in as much as the observer feels skilled and safe). A report of the incident should be made as soon as possible.

If you have seen, heard, or experienced bias, you can make a report in the following ways:

• Bias Reporting Form
• Cornell Office of Civil Rights at civilrights@cornell.edu
