On behalf of the committee, it is my task to collect documentation of hate/bias incidents on campuses from sociologists across the country. We are interested in gaining an understanding of the types of incidents as well as the way that those situations were resolved on campuses, if they received administrative or other forms of campus attention. The committee is also collecting materials on official college procedures for dealing with hate/bias incidents. I would really appreciate hearing from those of you who know of such incidents as we try to gain a greater understanding of these situations. Thanks in advance for your insights. Sincerely, Stephanie Shanks-Meile Associate Professor of Sociology Indiana University Northwest 3400 Broadway Gary, IN 46408 219-980-6787
