S1

Stage 1 — Incident Discovery

Neutral, rule-bound incident intake.

  • Daily Bruin scrape (inclusion_rule)
  • Defines what counts as an incident
S2

Stage 2 — Evidence Blocks

Multi-source collection, tracked by Source IDs.

  • Public Admin Comms — chancellor emails, statements
  • Internal Comms — administrator emails, planning docs
  • 3rd Party Reports — task force, commissioned reviews
  • Policy & Legal Framework — UC policy, Title VI, First Amendment
  • Police Reports — UCPD logs, arrests
First-Hand Accounts (current focus)
  • Student/faculty filings (EDI, Title VI, Dean of Students, UCPD)
  • Acknowledgments, follow-ups, remedial offers
  • Incident video footage, SAMS reports
S3

Stage 3 — Coding Layer

Deterministic mapping from evidence → variables.

  • Apply structured variables
  • Values = rule-based + evidence citations
  • Human oversight checks
S4

Stage 4 — Comparative Tests

Controlled comparisons to isolate effects.

  • Cross-group disparity (identity vs. response)
  • Within-group drivers (identity held constant, check severity/visibility)
