Abstract
  • This qualitative study informed by a phenomenological approach explored the experiences of students when deciding to disclose bias-related incidents. Through an individual interview and follow-up focus group, eight participants shared their experience with bias-related incidents, decision to disclose or not to disclose, and perception of university resources. Five themes emerged from the data: prevalence of bias-related incidents, previous relationships and shared identities, validation and logistics, disclosure roadblocks, and current disclosures influence on future disclosures. Based on the findings and resulting discussion of the experiences and perceptions of students, whom have experience a bias-related incident, recommendations are offered to staff and faculty members regarding future practices and principles to support students, create a more positive campus climate, and promote environments where historically marginalized populations feel comfortable disclosing.
