Hate Crimes

The Nassau Community College Public Safety Department is here to ensure that everyone’s experience on campus is a safe and secure one. Below we have outlined what is a "Hate Crime."

A Hate Crime is when any crime is committed but the motivation for the offense was based on the victim’s race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, or disability.

Anyone who feels they may be a victim to one of these crimes can file a report with Public Safety, Dean of Students and the Affirmative Action Office.
