Second bias incident reported

|

Josephine Coury / The Dartmouth Staff Two students were targeted and verbally harassed in the Class of 1953 Commons on Wednesday, according to a campus email from Interim President Carol Folt and Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson. This incident marks the second bias incident reported this week, following racist graffiti scrawled in the Choates residential hall cluster on Saturday. The incident occurred during lunchtime in '53 Commons, according to Justin Anderson, director of media relations for the College. "Two students reported that another student walked by them, made eye contact and verbally harassed them by speaking gibberish that was perceived to be mock Chinese," he said. The students went to the Office of Pluralism and Leadership, where they were encouraged to report the incident through Maxient, an online program, Anderson said. Upon receiving the information, Safety and Security immediately contacted the students and launched an investigation to identify the perpetrator. Efforts to respond to bias incidents on campus are conducted through the Bias Incident Response Team, according to OPAL director Alysson Satterlund.
