Record Audit
Source basis and classification review
- Source basis
- 1 linked public source: Annual security report.
- Classification rationale
- The Montana State public Annual Security Report section identifies a reporting-year 2023 on-campus student-housing vandalism incident characterized by gender bias; the Vandalism category is limited to that report wording.
- Community rationale
- The Gender label is retained because the Annual Security Report item says the vandalism incident was characterized by gender bias; no narrower gender identity or sex-based label is inferred.
- Confidence rationale
- Medium confidence reflects one public Annual Security Report section locator for a reporting-year hate-crime entry; it is not a severity score, prevalence estimate, or legal finding.
| Field | Source support | Review note |
|---|---|---|
| Category | 2025 Annual Security Report | The Montana State public Annual Security Report section identifies a reporting-year 2023 on-campus student-housing vandalism incident characterized by gender bias; the Vandalism category is limited to that report wording. |
| Affected communities | 2025 Annual Security Report | The Gender label is retained because the Annual Security Report item says the vandalism incident was characterized by gender bias; no narrower gender identity or sex-based label is inferred. |
| Date precision | 2025 Annual Security Report | The date is intentionally year-level because the public report locator (HATE CRIMES BY CATEGORY AND BIAS) identifies a reporting-year item, not an exact incident date. |
| Confidence | 2025 Annual Security Report | Medium confidence reflects one public Annual Security Report section locator for a reporting-year hate-crime entry; it is not a severity score, prevalence estimate, or legal finding. |
| Institutional response | 2025 Annual Security Report | Response-depth classification is limited_public_response_note because the annual-security-report source reports a Clery/hate-crime entry and does not describe a direct institutional response. |
