moving beyond bias
a pilot program to change attitudes and practices on campus
Moving Beyond Bias is a learning program that explores how bias works, and how we can reduce its harmful effects on California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC) campuses. This material has been implemented in trials nationwide — with positive outcomes — but never before on the scale of this collaborative program.
This pilot program is intended to supplement existing trainings available at your campus.
