Bias Incident Reporting Form


The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy is committed to fostering a safe and welcoming campus community. Incidents of bias and hate affecting a person or group create a hostile climate and negatively impact the quality of the IMSA experience for community members. IMSA takes such incidents seriously and will investigate and respond to reported or observed incidents of bias while under the jurisdiction of the Academy. At IMSA, a hate or “bias-related” incident is an act that demonstrates prejudice against the victim’s actual or perceived race, color, gender/gender identity/gender expression, sex, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, religion, ability, political affiliation, veteran’s status and/or other aspects of a person’s identity.

If you have experienced a bias-related behavior or action, please complete this form, providing detailed information regarding the incident.  In completing this form, you will be asked to provide your name and contact information so that we may follow up with you, if needed. If you prefer, you may choose to submit the form anonymously. Once the report is received, the designated staff member will investigate the incident and address the issue reported. Questions regarding the filing of this form can be directed to the Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at (630) 907-5079 or acoleman@imsa.edu .
