In spring 2005 the CU-Boulder campus experienced a number of racially motivated incidents.  The campus community responded in multiple ways in an effort to confront racial intolerance and improve understanding.  A new discrimination policy was approved by the Board of Regents in August 2005, and the Office of Discrimination and Harassment was launched in fall 2005 to address some of these issues.  A list of related statements and news releases appears below.
