Given the recent legislative changes regarding Title IX, Sexual Assault and Interpersonal Violence on college campus, the Office of Diversity and Equity is providing several training sessions on the topics. Currently all employees at the university are expected to take either the online or in person training regarding Sexual Assault and Interpersonal Violence Prevention.
Both federal and state laws clearly prohibit sexual harassment, sexual assault and interpersonal violence in the workplace and education settings – and yet it happens. On campuses large and small, women and men find themselves the unwilling target of unwelcomed sexual conduct that creates a hostile environment. It is critical that all students, employees, including managers, understand both the full range of behaviors that define sexual harassment, sexual assault and interpersonal violence and the pro-active steps they can take to prevent it.
As part of its mandate to eliminate discrimination, the Office of Diversity and Equity provides training for CCSU faculty, staff and students.
