- Bias Reporting & Prevention
The Bias Reporting Tool provides a place for students, faculty and staff to report incidents of bias that occur within the campus community. The goals of the Bias Reporting and Response Process include: 1) Support members of the UIC community who have been impacted by bias incidents. 2) Center the concerns and hopes of those who report bias incidents in the response process. Including, if at all possible, letting them play a role in how the bias incident is addressed. 3) Collect data and review trends of bias incidents in order to better understand the complex needs and challenges facing the campus, and guide recommendations to university leadership who can then create appropriate policies, education and programs. - Campus Advocacy Network
Provide the knowledge and tools for understanding and eliminating gender-based violence; and empower the UIC community and our allies to build spaces and relationships for healing, resistance, and social change. - Dean of Students, Diversity Education
Diversity Education is committed to reducing bias and discrimination at UIC and helping our campus be a place where all students can succeed. It accomplishes this through offering students, faculty and staff a place to report instances of bias and discrimination on campus, and coordinates with other campus units to support and educate those involved. - Gender and Sexuality Center
Through innovative programs, interactive workshops, special events, and the sharing of resources, we challenge heteronormativity and transphobia to promote deeply engaged and life affirming thinking, learning, and action. - Mental Health and Self Care – U of I Human Resources
Your mental health is a priority. Sometimes caring for our mental health involves basic wellbeing practices including enough sleep, healthy eating, physical activity, and nurturing relationships. But sometimes it’s not so simple. Stress, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues are commonplace and can impact every aspect of our lives, our workplace and our community. - Office for Access and Equity
Strives to increase access to employment, programs, and services in an environment free of unlawful discrimination and harassment. Dispute Resolution Services (DRS) provides confidential consultation, facilitation, and mediation services to students, faculty, academic and support staff. - Student Leadership and Civic Engagement
Opportunities for participation in service projects and volunteering, and civic engagement education and participation. SLCE encourages staff, faculty, and alumni to participate in the MLK Day of Service in January and the UIC Day of Service in April each year. More details about those opportunities are posted at service.uic.edu, which requires a UIC login or the creation of a non-UIC user profile to sign up to volunteer. Additionally, faculty, staff, and alumni are welcome to use SLCE resources for voter education and register to vote through vote.uic.edu. - Women’s Leadership Resource Center
Increase awareness of and affirm the diverse needs of woman-identified persons in higher education; provide opportunities to learn about the histories of and contemporary issues in feminist movements, activism, and scholarship, especially as they relate to white supremacy, ableism, heterosexism, transphobia, wealth inequality, et al; and promote gender equity, anti-violence, inclusion, and social justice on campus and in the larger society and world.
