- Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.

Reporting Guide
If you believe someone is violating the Code of Conduct we ask that you report it to the Anchorage Museum via the online form. All reports will be kept confidential. In some instances, we may determine that a public statement will need to be made. If that's the case, the identities of all victims and reporters will remain confidential unless those individuals instruct the Anchorage Museum otherwise.
If you believe anyone is in physical danger, please notify appropriate law enforcement first. If you are unsure what law enforcement agency is appropriate, please include this in your report and we will attempt to notify them.
If you are unsure whether the incident is a violation, or whether the space where it happened is covered by this Code of Conduct, we encourage you report it anyway.
We understand how important a Code of Conduct is and we invite your input to strengthen our policies to ensure the safety and inclusiveness of our community. If you have any input, feedback and/or suggestions, please contact us.
