What is the Campus Climate & Education Team? 

The Campus Climate & Education Team (CCET) serves as a safe resource for members of the Moravian community to raise immediate concerns regarding specific incidents of bias or acts of harassment and discrimination that impact them and the ΢ÃÜÆƽâ community.

CCET is not a disciplinary body, however, reported incidents that may potentially violate University policies may be held accountable through the Conduct process. However, certain reported acts of bias incidents may be constitutionally protected speech and not subject to University action or formal investigation. Participation of individuals in a restorative process, such as facilitated dialogue or Circles, is voluntary. CCET offers assistance to the Moravian community by providing resources to individuals impacted by and/or involved in a reported incident.

΢ÃÜÆƽâ values open expression and debate in the context of civility and mutual respect for diverse individuals and communities; bias incidents directly impact our ability to know, trust, support, and learn from one another.

What is a Bias Incident?

A bias incident is a perceived act of bigotry, harassment or intimidation committed by or against a ΢ÃÜÆƽâ community based on actual or perceived race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, genetic information, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, familial status, marital status, age, veteran status, mental or physical disability, use of guide or support animals and/or mechanical aids, or any other basis protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws. This includes, but is not limited to, slurs, graffiti, written messages, or images that harass or intimidate individuals or groups because of their membership in the above listed protected classes. 

΢ÃÜÆƽâ Non-Discrimination Statement

΢ÃÜÆƽâ adheres to all federal and state civil rights laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination in private institutions of higher education. The University does not discriminate against any employee, applicant for employment, student, or applicant for admission on the basis of actual or perceived race, ethnicity, color, sex, religion, age, ancestry, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, pregnancy, familial status, marital status, citizenship status, veteran/military status, disability status, or any other protected category under applicable local, state, or federal law, including protections for those opposing discrimination or participating in any grievance process on campus, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or other human rights agencies.

This policy covers non-discrimination in both employment and access to educational opportunities. Therefore, any member of the ΢ÃÜÆƽâ community whose acts deny, deprive, or limit the educational, employment, residential, and/or social access, benefits, and/or opportunities of any member of the University community, guest, or visitor on the basis of actual or perceived membership in a protected class is in violation of this policy. When brought to the attention of ΢ÃÜÆƽâ, any such discrimination will be promptly and fairly addressed and remedied by the University according to the appropriate grievance process.
