The BIRT is joining with schools across the country to celebrate “No Name Calling Week” as a way of bringing attention to the issues of bias and bullying. The event was established nationally by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Network (GLSEN) and aims to raise awareness of all manifestations of harassment.
BIRT was established in 2010 to provide a source of support to those targeted by bias and hate on the U of L campus. Its goals are to support those who are targeted by hate or bias; refer them to the resources and services available; educate the campus community about the impact of hate and bias; and promote initiatives and new ideas that further a welcoming, bias- and hate-free climate at U of L. BIRT members include Sharon LaRue, Michael Anthony, Jonathan Johnson, Brian Buford and Diane Whitlock. A 24-hour line is available to provide assistance.
