Thank you for visiting the webpage for the Bias Reporting Tool at the University of Washington Tacoma. The tool was retired in September 2025 as part of a broader effort to coordinate civil rights reporting and response at the university in a centralized fashion and in accordance with the University of Washington Policy Executive Order 81.
All concerns involving bias, harassment, sexual misconduct or related retaliation at UW Tacoma can now be submitted through the UW Civil Rights & Title IX Report Form.
For more information, please visit the UW Civil Rights Compliance Office website or contact their team at civilrights@uw.edu.
The Civil Rights & Title IX Report Form is for NON-EMERGENCY incidents only. If your immediate safety is at risk, or you are witnessing violence or perceiving imminent harm to yourself or others, please immediately dial 911. You can also report non-emergencies to UW Tacoma Campus Safety & Security at (253) 692-4416.
For emergencies, call 911. For mental health crisis support, call 988.

However, if you are obligated to report as an employee, you must identify yourself and may have to share all the information you have received. Visit Employee Reporting Obligations to learn more. The University's ability to address anonymous reports is limited.
