The Daily Bruin

Help protect our campus by reporting bias incidents and hate crimes, including bias-related incidents and hate crimes related to an individual or groups concerning:

• Race
• Color
• National origin
• Religion
• Disability
• Age
• Marital status
• Gender
• Gender identity
• Sex (including pregnancy status)

Such crimes are not tolerated in the George Fox community. These actions may also violate local, state and federal law. Designated university personnel investigate all complaints or allegations of harassment promptly.

If you believe that you have witnessed or been subjected to harassment, discrimination, bias-related incidents and/or hate crimes, we encourage you to immediately report the incident to the dean of student belonging and equity/Title IX coordinator for students at katrinaj@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2318, or student life personnel.

Students can also report gender-related bias incidents by clicking the red report button found at the top of Title IX website and the undergraduate handbook, or by clicking here.

In case of emergency, call 911. In case of on-campus emergencies, first call 911, then if possible call Campus Public Safety at 503-554-2090.

University staff on Friday became aware that over a week ago someone anonymously left vulgar and highly offensive messages on a whiteboard in a campus classroom. We want to remind our community that language and/or behavior that relies on negative stereotypes or is demeaning toward individuals or groups is absolutely unacceptable for George Fox students and employees, whether it occurs in person, through social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) or anonymously.

Violations of these expectations are taken very seriously by the university, especially when directed at another because of their race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, or disabilities. We want to remind everyone that George Fox has harassment, discrimination, and bias-related incident policies that can be viewed here.

Any incidents of harassment, discrimination or bias should be reported immediately to the student life office. We would also encourage community members to hold one another accountable for what we say and do in this important area.

This next week, we celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day.

This is an annual celebration where we promote communities to join in the effort to celebrate girls and women to participate in sports, knowing that the skills, confidence, strength and character gained through sports is what helps us make us all great leaders!

We will be hosting our fourth annual NGWSD coach panel discussion at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 1, in Canyon Commons 101-102. Join us for an evening of discussion led by our panel guests, Laura Schott (women’s soccer), Emily Davis (volleyball), Carol Laube (baseball) and Jen Burke (lacrosse).

Snacks, chapel credit and special giveaways will be included!

This event is open to everyone, not just women. It will be a great evening of discussions about how sports have helped lead them forward in all areas of life. We look forward to seeing you there!

Some questions include:

• As athletes and women, we all face tough situations. What was a difficult event in your life and how did you trust in God to get you through it?
• Did you have your life figured out upon graduation? What noticeable growth did you go through after graduating?
• How may a team environment help you grow in your faith?
• What do you think are collective goals for us as women in sport to further our success and continue growing our presence as athletes/coaches? How should we be focused on growing/honoring women in sports?
• What was the process like letting go of your role as an athlete?
