CIO Weekly DEIB Resources 3 19 21 AAPI Report and Intervention re-release https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ThRyLo169OsVqZOZqIbNtb_xt0mehsEd6f-7fGOLE_o/edit?usp=sharing

In light of the recent killings in Atlanta and the rise in violence and harassment of Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islanders[AAPI] in the United States we wanted to re-release our bystander intervention resources from this summer and offer a new report on these issues.

It’s important to educate ourselves, practice self care where necessary, and support those who may be impacted. STOP AAPI HATE issued its STOP AAPI HATE NATIONAL REPORT covering the last year regarding AAPI Bias Incidents, Harassment, and Hate Crimes https://a1w.90d.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/210312-Stop-AAPI-Hate-National-Report-.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0MadO8_nkf3g07QqGt6YPnUIO_3EEQzvvmTWgRUaRyKhHaPlWcZujXsYM
Overview of the report: Comparison of 2020 and 2021

Stop AAPI Hate received reports of 3,292 incidents that occurred in 2020. This total is higher than our previously reported number of 2,808 because additional 2020 incidents were reported retroactively in 2021. Stop AAPI Hate received reports of 503 incidents that occured in 2021.

Types of Discrimination

• ●  Verbal harassment (68.1%) and shunning (20.5%) (i.e., the deliberate avoidance of Asian Americans) make up the two largest proportions of the total incidents reported.
• ●  Physical assault (11.1%) comprises the third largest category of the total incidents.
• ●  Civil rights violations — e.g., workplace discrimination, refusal of service, and being barred from transportation — account for 8.5% of the total incidents.

The Chief Inclusion Office offers a weekly resources announcement to the Clarkson Community.  The resources are meant to help people explore diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging[DEIB] for themselves, in their communities, and in our institution.  They may be resources that help you re-examine society and do some introspective reflection, explain core concepts like intersectionality or anti-racism, or practical guides for action, such as how to review a syllabus for equity-minded practice or address inappropriate behavior.
The resources are linked in the announcement and saved to a common google folder for all to reference, https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a0DXWcmwl4a5zM5lMsBZR_7uk8_OZhIY?usp=sharing.   All prior resources can be found there.

If you would like to share thoughts on resources, please contact Diversity@Clarkson.edu.  We will also be using some of these resources as the basis of workshops and professional development throughout the year.
