About the Data
The University of New Hampshire has been advancing and supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts for many years. UNH is committed to building and nurturing an environment of inclusive excellence where all students, faculty, and staff can thrive, regardless of their backgrounds. Full transparency and accountability are important variables in advancing the work of diversity and inclusion. As such, the Civil Rights and Equity Office (CREO) is sharing data regarding reported incidents of discrimination, hate, and bias at UNH. This is UNH’s second public report on discrimination, hate, and bias. Each fiscal year, CREO will update the report to keep community members abreast of current trends.
As it relates to the presented data, it is important to keep the following in mind:
1. What is reflected is data reported to the Civil Rights and Equity Office (CREO).
2. Bias and discrimination may occur that community members choose not to report.
3. The current data represents all three UNH campuses, i.e. Durham, Manchester, and Concord as well as CPS Online (2023-2024).
4. The current data reflects reports provided by students, faculty, and staff.
5. The data is nuanced and includes different levels and types of discrimination and bias that have been reported each fiscal year. For example, the data may reflect incidents ranging from inappropriate or offensive language in music played loudly enough for others to hear to drawings of body parts posted to community bulletin boards to direct and targeted bias and/or discrimination based on individual identity(ies), appearance, or accent.
6. The “Incident Description” can be more than one for each incident. For example, if a community member experienced bias in the form of something posted to a chat or discussion board in an online class, that person may file a report and describe the incident as “online,” “written,” and “threat.”
