Campus Climate Education Team

What is the Campus Climate & Education Team? 

The Campus Climate & Education Team (CCET) serves as a safe resource for members of the Moravian community to raise immediate concerns regarding specific incidents of bias or acts of harassment and discrimination that impact them and the Moravian University community.

CCET is not a disciplinary body, however, reported incidents that may potentially violate University policies may be held accountable through the Conduct process. However, certain reported acts of bias incidents may be constitutionally protected speech and not subject to University action or formal investigation. Participation of individuals in a restorative process, such as facilitated dialogue or Circles, is voluntary. CCET offers assistance to the Moravian community by providing resources to individuals impacted by and/or involved in a reported incident.

Moravian University values open expression and debate in the context of civility and mutual respect for diverse individuals and communities; bias incidents directly impact our ability to know, trust, support, and learn from one another.

What is a Bias Incident?

A bias incident is a perceived act of bigotry, harassment or intimidation committed by or against a Moravian University community based on actual or perceived race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, genetic information, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, familial status, marital status, age, veteran status, mental or physical disability, use of guide or support animals and/or mechanical aids, or any other basis protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws. This includes, but is not limited to, slurs, graffiti, written messages, or images that harass or intimidate individuals or groups because of their membership in the above listed protected classes.
