PACE UNIVERSITY POLICY STATEMENT

REGARDING HATEBIAS-RELATED CRIME

Policy Statement

The New York State Legislature found and determined that ldquocriminal acts involving violence intimi-

dation and destruction of property based upon bias and prejudice have become more prevalent in New York

State in recent years The intolerable truth is that in these crimes commonly and justly referred to as ldquohate

crimesrdquo victims are intentionally selected in whole or in part because of their race color national origin

ancestry gender religion religious practice age disability or sexual orientation Hate crimes do more than

threaten the safety and welfare of all citizens They inflict on victims incalculable physical and emotional

damage and tear out the very fabric of free society Crimes motivated by invidious hatred toward particular

groups not only harm individual victims but send a powerful message of intolerance and discrimination to all

members of the group to which the victim(s) belongs Hate crimes can and do intimidate and disrupt entire

communities and vitiate the civility that is essential to healthy democratic process In a democratic society

citizens cannot be required to approve of the beliefs and practices of others but must never commit criminal

acts on account of themrdquo

Pace University has throughout its history prided itself in and been recognized for its reputation as

a leading institution of higher education in New York state The Universityrsquos Guiding Principles of Conduct

clearly and unequivocally provide that ldquomembership in the University community is accompanied by the re-

sponsibility to maintain and foster an environment characterized by freedom of expression inquiry and ex-

change of ideas and respect for the dignity and uniqueness of each individualrdquo In addition the University

has established standards of behavior to ensure the safety of all members of the University Community

The commission of a crime of violence intimidation or destruction of property by a member of the

Pace Community is unacceptable The commission of such a crime out of bias or prejudice is repugnant and

will not be tolerated The University through its disciplinary grievance or employment practices and proce-

dures andor by referral to local law enforcement officials will seek appropriate redress including criminal

prosecution against any student staff or faculty member who violates this policy

Definition

a person commits a hate crime when he or she commits a specified offense and either

intentionally selects the person against whom the offense is committed or intended to be

committed in whole or in substantial part because of a belief or perception regarding the

race color national origin ancestry gender religion religious practice age disability or

sexual orientation of a person regardless of whether the belief or perception is correct or

intentionally commits the act or acts constituting the offense in whole or in substantial part

because of a belief or perception regarding the race color national origin ancestry gender

religion religious practice age disability or sexual orientation of a person regardless of

whether the belief or perception is correct
