Reporting Hate Crimes

It is important to remember that the reporting of hate crimes provides the University and the community with the opportunity to identify the person responsible and address the factors that might prevent such an occurrence in the future. UJ provides support through attainment of medical, psychological, investigative, and other support services to assist victims of hate crimes in dealing with the inevitable repercussions of such a traumatic event. In addition, the victim may receive assistance in changing their on-campus living and academic situations after an alleged hate crime incident, if such changes are reasonable and available. The University also provides for the use of a “safe room,” if available, for short periods of time whenever a victim needs or wishes to be relocated immediately from the residence hall room.
