Dear Faculty, Staff, and Student Workers,
As President Gabel outlined in her email last Wednesday, one of the University’s top priorities in 2021 is the continuing campaign to eliminate sexual misconduct and all forms of discrimination and retaliation from our campuses. One of the central components of that effort is an online education module that is required for all faculty, staff, and student workers. Our goal is to have a completion rate of 100%. To truly change our campus culture, everyone must be part of building a positive workplace and must know how to identify and address harmful behaviors.
You may have already received an email from Training Hub with a link and instructions for accessing this year’s required education module, “Preventing Sexual Misconduct, Discrimination, and Retaliation.” You can also find the link and instructions on the My Training page in Training Hub once it has been assigned. The course will take two to three hours to complete for employees and three to four hours for supervisors, so you may want to take it over multiple sessions (you can stop it at any time and return later). The module will need to be completed by May 27. If you believe you may have difficulty completing the course because you have been negatively affected by sexual misconduct, please notify your supervisor. (You do not need to give a specific reason for opting out of the module.) You may also contact the resources on this Safe Campus web page for confidential counseling.
If you have other questions about the module or the process, please contact your supervisor or your unit’s HR representative.
We know that you share President Gabel’s belief that everyone at the University should feel secure and welcome. Thank you for your participation in this course. Together, we build a healthier, safer, and more welcoming campus climate.
Sincerely,
Lendley C. Black
Chancellor
