Sexual Harassment Prevention
In compliance with federal and local laws and CUNY Policy, training is provided to disseminate the University's Policy Against Sexual Harassment and to inform faculty and staff of their responsibilities. The University provides training programs for campus employees who intake sexual harassment complaints, who train others on the campus about the CUNY policy, managers and supervisors, and the CUNY Community-at-large. Campus Sexual Harassment Prevention Awareness and Intake Committee members are charged with providing training programs and orientation activities to educate students, faculty, and staff about the University's policy and their responsibilities.
Core Programs (SHAIC members)
Three Core Courses are required for all campus Sexual Harassment Awareness and Intake Committee (SHAIC) members and/or investigators. The core courses provide SHAIC members with basic skills for executing general committee responsibilities. The Core Courses are:
- Policy and Procedures
- Complaint Intake
- Managing Intake Communications
For Campus Investigators (SHAIC members)
In addition to the three core courses, campus prevention investigators must take two courses, Informal Resolution: Conciliation and Complaint Investigations, to assist them in resolving and investigating sexual harassment complaints.
For Campus Trainers (SHAIC members)
Campus trainers must take the Train-the-Trainer program in addition to the three core courses.
For Managers and Supervisors
Managers and Supervisors have additional responsibilities in accordance with the law and CUNY policy. For them, the OHRM PDLM Office offers the campuses a half-day workshop entitled Respectful Workplaces: Preventing Sexual Harassment. This workshop, developed specifically for CUNY managers and supervisors, is designed to heighten awareness and inform managers and supervisors of their legal and CUNY responsibilities. This workshop is conducted on-site. For more information, contact the Professional Development and Learning Management Office.
See the <pdf> Spring 2012 Program Schedule <pdf> for a current list of courses, dates, and times.
For the University Community
The University provides a self-paced, comprehensive, interactive program on sexual harassment law and CUNY policy on the CUNY website. All members of the CUNY community are encouraged to take this web course. To begin the course, click on http://www.newmedialearning.com/psh/cuny/index.htm.
