Hanover College receives an “F” grade for having a Bias Response Team. Bias Reporting Systems and Response Teams are systems or teams of faculty, staff, and sometimes law enforcement.
According to <a href="https://speechfirst.org/bias-reporting-systems/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SpeechFirst</a>, students are “encouraged to report ‘bias incidents’ to these boards (or teams) in the name of inclusion and tolerance, but it’s often unclear what the school considers ‘bias’ in the first place. Overly broad or vague definitions of bias put all kinds of speech at risk of being reported – even unpopular speech which is protected by the First Amendment.”

<a href="https://www.hanover.edu/about/profiles/marovich/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beatrice Marovich</a> is an Assistant Professor of Theological Studies at Hanover College. According to her university profile, her research is “ecologically and speculatively oriented” and her writing focuses on “living, dying, and dreaming, in an animal body.” Marovich is also the author of <a href="https://cup.columbia.edu/book/sister-death/9780231208376" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sister Death: Political Theologies for Living and Dying</a>.
In July 2023, Marovich wrote an article for <a href="https://religiondispatches.org/how-christian-theology-created-the-need-to-assert-that-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Religion Dispatches</a> titled, “How Christian Theology Created the Need to Assert that Black Lives Matter”. She begins by quoting James Baldwin, who claims, “White Americans do not believe in death. And this is why the darkness of my skin so intimidates them.”
Marovich argues:
“White Americans have, we could say, inherited their denial of the value of Black life (and their disbelief in White death) from the Christian tradition that so many White Americans have turned to (and continue to turn to) for guidance and strength.” 
She says that Christianity views death as “not only an evil enemy of God but the ultimate fate of Christianity’s foes.” Marovich takes this further, saying: “These enemies of God are more killable than other Christians, precisely because they were never promised eternal life to begin with. Their lives don’t matter and their deaths are inevitable.”
Marovich adds:
“One could make the argument (as I do in Sister Death) that it isn’t just White Americans who lack a belief in death &#8211; who seem unconvinced that death is a fact that applies to them. Rather, in the history of Christianity, we can see an ancient trail of death denial.
“This Christian view discussed earlier, about whose lives matter eternally and whose lives don’t, and about who can be killed with impunity and who can’t, may be written into White supremacist views about whose lives matter &#8211; and whose don’t.” 
She concludes by saying:
“Is it really such a leap to suggest that death-denial in Christian thought might animate and enable the exceptionalism of a contemporary White supremacy that denies the value of Black life? I certainly don’t think so.”
