+Attendance is mandatory for all CBE first year graduate students, and new faculty and staff.
The purpose of this training session is to give students, faculty, and staff members an understanding of what constitutes sexual harassment, how to prevent situations of sexual harassment in the workplace, and the University’s procedure for reporting harassment.
It is the mission of the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) to provide assistance in the University’s goal to promote diversity and a climate welcoming of a diverse faculty, staff, student body and the University community; to effectively oversee policies governing discrimination, harassment, reasonable accommodation, religious accommodation, child protection and recruitment; to ensure that issues of harassment, discrimination and accommodation are addressed in a timely and effective manner that does not tolerate retaliation; and to assist the University in its commitment to foster and sustain a working and learning environment where each member of the community can succeed.
