Mandated Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity Training for Staff

George Fox University receives a &#8220;C&#8221; grade for having a Bias Reporting System but not a Bias Response Team. Bias Reporting Systems and Response Teams are systems or teams of faculty, staff, and sometimes law enforcement.
According to <a href="https://speechfirst.org/bias-reporting-systems/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SpeechFirst</a>, students are “encouraged to report ‘bias incidents’ to these boards (or teams) in the name of inclusion and tolerance, but it’s often unclear what the school considers ‘bias’ in the first place. Overly broad or vague definitions of bias put all kinds of speech at risk of being reported – even unpopular speech which is protected by the First Amendment.”

George Fox University receives a &#8220;D&#8221; grade for Required Equity, Diversity, or Inclusion Courses for Students. The university&#8217;s general education <a class="waffle-rich-text-link" href="https://www.georgefox.edu/college-admissions/academics/general-education.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">curriculum</a> requires students to complete courses from four categories: &#8220;With all your heart,&#8221; &#8220;With all your soul,&#8221; &#8220;With all your mind,&#8221; and &#8220;Love your neighbor as yourself.&#8221;
George Fox University&#8217;s &#8220;<a class="waffle-rich-text-link" href="https://www.georgefox.edu/diversity/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diversity</a>&#8221; page states: &#8220;Members of the George Fox Community will explore issues of injustice through the biblical lens.&#8221; One of the ways the university says they do this is through their curriculum.
The university&#8217;s statement appears to relate to a general education course within the &#8220;Love your neighbor as yourself&#8221; category entitled &#8220;Justice.&#8221; The course description reads:
&#8220;In this course, we wrestle with a question that the prophet Micah asks and answers in Micah 6:8, &#8216;O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?&#8217; This question is as relevant in America today as it was in Israel in the 8th century BC. How do we live such a life in a time of injustice, hate, and violence? This course addresses this question by exploring the ways in which justice—or injustice—manifests itself in society, both domestically and globally.&#8221;
