Ithaca College is committed to providing critical education and training to our faculty, staff and student employees. As part of IC’s annual comprehensive training program, which ensures compliance with the recent New York State legal mandates, Ithaca College requires all employees to complete the EVERFI Harassment and Discrimination Prevention training course. This online training will provide faculty, staff and student employees with useful resources that will help foster a safe, inclusive, and healthy campus environment by introducing and explaining various concepts surrounding harassment and discrimination.
Throughout the training, employees will explore policy and regulations by using online scenario-based interactions and case studies. The awareness provided to employees through the course will aim to reinforce the policy and compliance in the workplace. The estimated seat time to complete the training is approximately 60 minutes for non-supervisory employees or 90 minutes for employees with supervisory roles.
Throughout the training employees will:
· Read and acknowledge the College’s policies addressing discrimination and harassment
· Build an understanding of unconscious biases and unlawful discrimination and harassment
· Learn the definition of sexual harassment and understand how to recognize and respond to unlawful behaviors
· Understand the concept of an active bystander
· Realize the importance of preventing retaliation
All faculty, staff, and student employees that completed the training prior to January 1, 2019 will receive an email invitation from “Ithaca College <donotreply@lawroom.com>” with instructions to access the course. The deadline to complete the training is Wednesday, October 9, 2019.
