XII. Education, Awareness, and Prevention
Educational efforts are essential to maintaining a campus environment that is free of the forms of prohibited misconduct addressed by this policy. There are multiple goals to be achieved through education, awareness and prevention programs: (i) ensuring that all employees and students are aware of and understand their rights and responsibilities under this policy, (ii) notifying members of the University community of the types of conduct forbidden by this policy and how to reduce the risk of exposure to such conduct; (iii) informing administrators, faculty and staff about their obligations when they receive a report and/or observe conduct that may be in violation of this policy. The University requires all students, employees and faculty to complete discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct training and receive periodic refresher training as needed.
The Office of Risk Management and Compliance, Office of Student Life, the Office of Human Resources, , and the University Wellness Center offer a variety of programs on prohibited misconduct addressed by this policy as well as awareness and prevention with respect to such misconduct.
