A black employee reported their supervisor, who is also black, to the University of Maryland’s bias team for telling them to “tone it down,” according to bias reports recently obtained by The College Fix.
The incident is one of the nearly 30 reports obtained by The Fix from the public university relating to accusations of bias on the basis of race or color. Several incidents of racial slurs were reported multiple times.
The university originally provided only a brief summary of the incident, devoid of any meaningful details. It also stripped any reference to the sex of the person being targeted the complaint. “Staff reported that their supervisor emailed them racist and derogatory statements,” the public report originally stated.
However, after being asked for more information, the university provided summaries of the complaints. “Black staff member [complained] to another Black employee, saying that they need to ‘tone it down,’” the university added.
