Bias Reporting Services

The purpose of the University of Washington bias reporting system is to identify patterns and trends of institutional and interpersonal discrimination to proactively develop campus learning and strategies that may eliminate future bias incidents. Report a bias incident and learn about bias reporting through UW Bothell’s Bias Reporting Services.

Campus Safety*

Campus Safety operates 24/7 to maintain a safe and secure environment for the UW Bothell campus community. Services include preventative patrols, referrals, de-escalation, incident reporting, safety escorts, vehicle battery jumps and more. Students, staff and faculty can submit a report through the online reporting system for incidents such as lost property, telephone harassment, vandalism and theft. Visit the UW Bothell Campus Safety website to submit an online report.

CARE Team

UW Bothell has expanded the role of the CARE Team to create a “sole designation” model. This allows faculty, staff, parents, and students the ability to contact all support services for students in one location. The goal is to create a user-friendly experience for our community while providing student support from the appropriate campus experts. We strive to provide private, proactive, and supportive consultation, assessment, response, and education regarding students who may be in distress or at risk.

To learn more about the CARE Team or to submit a CARE Report, visit the CARE Team website.
