Dear Colleagues:
In October 2018, New York State issued new guidelines for sexual harassment policies and procedures for all employers in the state requiring that all employees complete sexual harassment prevention training annually. In keeping with this obligation, all faculty and staff of the University are required to complete this training on an annual basis. You can learn more about the guidelines by visiting SU News.
Based on the feedback that we received regarding last year’s course, we are pleased to announce that we are rolling out a new module in the form of a recorded webinar, followed by a short quiz. The training should take no more than 60 minutes. Please click the following link to access the training: 2020 Sexual Harassment Prevention Training.
The training can also be accessed through the webpage: inclusion.syr.edu/training-development and must be completed no later than Oct. 1, 2020.
Your successful completion of this requirement will assist the University in fulfilling its commitment to provide an educational and work environment that values all individuals and respects the rights and dignity of all members of our campus community.
If you have any questions or need assistance with the training, please visit the 2020 Sexual Harassment Prevention Training FAQ. Alternatively, you may contact Christina Percoski, training specialist, Equal Opportunity, Inclusion and Resolution Services, at crpercos@syr.edu or 315.443.4049.
To request a disability-based accommodation and/or auxiliary aids under the Americans with Disabilities Act, please contact ada@syr.edu.
