Preventing Harassment and Discrimination: 

"Preventing Harassment and Discrimination: Supervisors with Title IX/Clery Module" is provided through Vector Solutions and is designed to help employees understand their responsibilities for contributing to campus safety as a university employee.  All employees are assigned the supervisor training in order to meet the content requirements of federal and state mandates regardless of supervisory responsibilities.

This combined training provides employees with information in regards to their responsibilities under Title IX, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, and the Illinois Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act. This training is required for all employees and volunteers, including undergraduate and graduate assistants, student employees, faculty, A/P, civil service and extra help employees. 

Preventing Harassment and Discrimination training is temporarily unavailable while the provider transitions to a new learning management system.
