In that spirit, Wartburg College seeks to be transparent when dealing with incidents that threaten our campus culture. As a campus, we seek to engender norms that show respect and love to all members of our community. We do so by addressing issues quickly and thoughtfully, with a desire to create a community that values diversity, transparency, compassion, and accountability. The report below will be updated as necessary to show how incidents of bias are being handled by the college.
