Hate Crime Policy
Hate Crime Policy
A hate crime is defined in Nevada law as a crime listed underor against another person who is motivated by virtue of the victim鈥檚 actual or perceived
race, color, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability or sexual orientation.
Hate crimes are particularly repugnant to the mission of the Nevada System of Education
(NSHE) and detrimental to the responsibility of NSHE to provide a safe environment
for education, research and service for the NSHE community. To ensure that all institutions
of the NSHE are prepared to respond to hate crimes that may be committed on its campuses,
each institution must adopt a policy and procedure regarding hate crimes. The policy
and procedure must include how the institution or its police services will prevent,
respond to and investigate hate crimes.
