LibGuides: Anti-Oppression Resources for UNLV Students: Report Hate/Get Help

About this guide

With a focus on student safety and well-being, this guide is designed to provide general information and links to resources about anti-oppression and related topics such as diversity, inclusion, and social justice for the UNLV academic community. Intended to be non-partisan, many resources offered here are for everyone regardless of political affiliation or viewpoint. In some cases, resources and links related to issues and specific policies proposed by elected officials are part of this guide as these issues and proposed policies directly impact professional and personal lives of members of our community, such as immigrants or people of color.

We would like to offer our appreciation to the following individuals and other valued colleagues who contributed to the development of this guide.

Such an environment is essential in fostering intellectual growth and achievement. Each member of the university shares the responsibility of maintaining conditions conducive to the achievement of the university’s purpose. The UNLV Student Conduct Code is designed to provide basic standards to ensure a means to fulfill this purpose." The Student Conduct Code states that students have "the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, creed, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation/identity" and that students have "the right to engage in peaceful and orderly speech, protest, demonstration, and picketing within the public forum to the extent such activities do not disrupt the academic and/or administrative functions of the University. The University reserves the right, in accordance with federal and state law, to approve the time, place and manner of such activities."
Report Hate - Southern Poverty Law Center
