The Bias Awareness Resource Committee (BARC) is committed to supporting a living, learning, and working environment in which all members are respected and their differences are valued. BARC is charged with reviewing bias incident reports and with implementing strategies to educate, to strengthen, and to support the campus community when such incidents occur.
Confronting Racism, Injustice, and Inequality
To confront racism, injustice, and inequality at Gettysburg College, the Bias Awareness Resource Committee (BARC) and Campus Climate Study Implementation Group (CCSIG) joined together to deliver a report of recommendations to help facilitate institutional improvement.

In a letter to the community, President Bob Iuliano outlined the College’s next steps in advancing this essential work.
Additional information
It is important to note that establishing the BARC does not create a new category of prohibited behavior or new disciplinary or judicial processes.
Alleged bias conduct that may be a violation of College policy by a student will be referred for action through existing disciplinary or judicial procedures. Alleged bias conduct that may be a violation of College policy by a faculty member or staff member will be referred to the Provost or to the Director of Human Resources, respectively.
BARC is in no way a disciplinary body, and its functions are proactive as well as reactive. Thus BARC is charged with developing ways to communicate with and to respond to the community regarding bias incidents and policies, and therefore to strengthen and to support the community at all times, and most especially when bias incidents occur.
