麻豆区 believes that physical descriptors alone are not a valid reason to profile or cast suspicion on any individual. 听When physical descriptors are included in communication to the 麻豆区 community, it is done so because they may reasonably assist in identifying the perpetrator of the incident. 听麻豆区 uses perceived race and gender descriptors that are provided about a suspect only when additional characteristics (beyond clothing) are also available. Such descriptors are used in an attempt to provide the campus community with important information. 听However, the University recognizes that race and gender are personal identity attributes that cannot always be accurately perceived by others, and that any reported information may not be accurate.
