Next phase of training to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct

On November 1, the University began the next phase of the systemwide training to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct. This will ensure that faculty and staff hired since last spring are trained, and it establishes a process for training all new hires. The training will be rolled out as follows:

• Catch-up phase: Individuals hired after March 2018 will receive an email from training@umn.edu with a link to access the online training module. They will have two months to complete it.
• Ongoing phases: Beginning December 1 and every month thereafter, we will assign the training to all new hires. They will have one month to complete the training. (Depending on their role in the organization, new faculty and staff will receive either "Preventing and Responding to Sexual Misconduct for Employees" or "Preventing and Responding to Sexual Misconduct for Supervisors.")

Similar to the initial training rollout last spring, supervisors will be able to monitor training completions in the Tableau tool. As the training deadlines approach, email reminders will be sent to employees, and supervisors will receive reminders via email and MyU.
