End Bias at Dartmouth

OPAL is working with numerous campus departments to launch a new webpage later this spring with the expectation to End Bias at Dartmouth. The End Bias at Dartmouth page will provide resources on prevention, intervention, and support following incidences of bias. If you are a witness to, or a target of, bias on the Dartmouth campus, please report it so that immediate support can be provided.
