SLCC No Space for Hate

Salt Lake Community College is committed to fostering a safe and welcoming campus for all students, faculty and staff. It is the responsibility of each person at SLCC to join in creating an environment in which others can thrive without fear of hate or bias.

“Our values of inclusivity and integrity need to guide us as we work together to create safe and welcoming learning spaces that embrace forms of speech that encourages us to expand and evolve together into a truly just and democratic society where all voices are valued,” said Dr. Lea Lani Kinkini, SLCC Chief Diversity Officer.

SLCC has mechanisms in place for reporting and responding to hate and bias speech, including the Hate & Bias Incident Report Form. Go to slcc.edu/safe under Reporting Hate or Bias to access the Hate & Bias Incident Report Form. The form also contains a list of contacts to report an incident in person.

SLCC continues to strengthen our reporting processes to ensure all our campuses, learning and working spaces, including online spaces, are free from racism, hate, intimidation and interference with learning, and appreciates all who do their part.

If you have experienced or are experiencing hate or bias, please report it. If you have witnessed or are a witness to hate or bias, please report it.

There is no space for hateful and racist speech on our campuses. -President Huftalin
