UW Bothell investigates report of bias against Muslim women

BOTHELL — Officials are investigating a report that Muslim women on the University of Washington Bothell campus allegedly were approached by several men demanding that they remove their hijabs, or headscarves.

Bjong Wolf Yeigh, chancellor of the UW Bothell, denounced the incident in a message to students Tuesday.

“This type of behavior is abhorrent and will not be tolerated at UW Bothell,” he said.

It constitutes a potential criminal assault and a hate crime, he said. Hijabs are headscarves worn by Muslim women.
