UW MEDICINE BIAS REPORTING TOOL

UW Medicine Bias Reporting Tool

UW Medicine is an organization that embraces diversity and advances equity while fostering inclusion and collegiality. We are a community where support and respect are expected at all levels. We also realize there are times when individuals at all levels in our system engage in bullying, demonstrate negative biases, and express racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic or other bigoted beliefs. These behaviors challenge the UW Medicine values which adversely impacts the learning, teaching, working or healing experiences of others. This tool has been created to formally report those incidents.

Reporting can include a variety of concerns ranging from one-time micro-aggressions to more severe and sustained behavior. We are committed to responding to these events and continuing to improve our climate.

You can report anonymously with this tool. However, we believe we can more fully respond to concerns if you include your name and contact information. It also allows us to follow up with you about next steps both in regards to supporting you as the reporter and informing our next steps to address the incident.
