The University of Rhode Island (URI) prohibits “bias-based incidents.” According to the policy:
A bias-based incident is one which has a negative effect on an individual or group and which is based on or motivated by bias against race, sex, religion, age, color, creed, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or disabled and/or Vietnam era veteran status.
Incidents of bias-based behavior “will be considered University Student Conduct System violations.”
