CMU has a "Bias Incident Response Team" to look into vaguely-defined problems.
"Anytime anyone in the CMU community feels belittled, disrespected, threatened, or unsafe because of who they are, the entire university community is diminished," says the university website.

If you have observed or experienced a bias incident, it should be reported as soon as possible."
