Bard College is committed to providing a learning and working environment that is free of bias, prejudice, discrimination, and harassment—an environment in which all feel welcome and are treated fairly and with respect. The Office of Title IX and Nondiscrimination is dedicated to preventing, responding to, and remedying any incidents of discrimination and harassment, including gender-based misconduct, throughout Bard and its affiliated programs. The Office ensures that fair, timely, and impartial processes are in place to address all complaints of discrimination and harassment.
Resources + Support
At Bard, building a culture of care is at the core of our work. Employing a trauma-informed approach, Bard offers many resources to support our community. At every stage, our approach is private and survivor-centered. We endeavor to listen carefully, provide meaningful options and protections, work continuously to prevent harm before it occurs, and foster accountability and healing.
