Goal
Sexual harassment training will focus on federal and state statutory provisions, prevention and correction of sexual harassment and remedies available to victims.
Who
Required for all California State University employees.
Why
The California State University (CSU) is committed to maintaining an inclusive community that values diversity and fosters tolerance and mutual respect. We embrace and encourage our community differences in Age, Disability, Race or Ethnicity, Gender, Gender Identity or Expression, Nationality, Religion, Sexual Orientation, Genetic Information, Veteran or Military Status, and other characteristics that make our community unique. All individuals have the right to participate fully in CSU programs and activities free from Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation. The CSU prohibits Harassment of any kind, including Sexual Harassment, as well as Sexual Misconduct, Dating and Domestic Violence, and Stalking. Such behavior violates University policy and may also violate state or federal law. This training is required by Executive Orders 1095, 1096 and 1097.
When
New employees shall complete the required training within six months of their initial hiring. Best practice suggests completing this training within the first 60 days of assignment. All existing non-supervisory employees will be assigned the training and must complete the training within twelve months of the effective date of the revised Executive orders and on an annual basis thereafter. Again, best practice suggests completing this training within the first 60 days of assignment.
