Discrimination/Bias Incident Reporting

Last year feedback from students, staff, and faculty showed that it was not clear how to report when someone experiences discrimination at Augsburg College. Once brought to our attention we made changes to streamline the process. Please note that the process to report is to notify Andrea Turner, the Assistant Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer, or Sarah Griesse, the Dean of Students.

Reports may be in person by visiting our offices, via email, via phone, or through the online report form. The online reporting form is listed on the A-Z Directory under Discrimination and Bias Incident Information and Reporting. (The form is available on the main page and subsequent pages.) This link also provides helpful information about Augsburg College Values, Process and Resources, Definitions, and Augsburg's policies on harassment and violence. If you or someone you know (e.g., students, staff, or faculty) feels that they have been discriminated against, please refer them to Andrea (turner2@augsburg.edu, 612.330.1691, Memorial Hall room 19) or Sarah (griesse@augsburg.edu, 612.330.1489, Memorial Hall room 118). Our contact information is also listed on the website. Please share this information with your colleagues and friends.
