1. ICPC Working Group Roger L. Worthington and Amy Reynolds Responding to Hate in Institutions of Higher Education

2. Working Group Executive Summary What is the problem? Hate on campus is not just events; pervasive cultural undercurrent Definition hate crime/bias incident needs expansion Influence of media culture and anonymous blogging Hate crimes/bias incidents represent structural fissures in society Campuses are not safe spaces for difficult dialogues Oppressed group members may internalize oppressive standards Student developmental status impact perceptions and responses Campus civility leads to politeness which reinforces status quo Institutional realities affect climate and response Responses typically reactive rather than proactive

3. Working Group Executive Summary What are possible solutions? There are three possible directions of this work: (a) research and assessment, (b) Institutional advocacy, (c) APA educational and policy oriented efforts Collaboration is key: (a) work with other academic departments and administrative units, (b) rely on other disciplines (e.g., theatre troupe, dispute resolution) We need to change social norms (borrow methodologies and interventions from other disciplines) Needs assessment: what competencies do we need to do this work? We are human behavior experts and have the potential to be consultants Need to have structures, strategies, & materials to respond to incidents The importance of establishing consequences and rewards We need to have resources; a diverse tool bag to address these issues
