West Virginia University recently resumed the employee training module originally titled “Discrimination & Harassment Prevention & Meridians: Title IX.” This original training was temporarily paused to address factual errors subsequently found in the training, and to shorten the training’s length to account for employee schedules.
Employees are asked to complete the revised training module on or before Monday, March 7.
The training now primarily focuses on federal Title IX and related regulations. It also reviews some relevant content from WVU Board of Governors Rule 1.6 – Rule Regarding Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Domestic Misconduct, Stalking, Retaliation, and Relationships.
Employees who have not yet taken or completed the training, which now takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete, should have received an email that the revised training is available. Those employees who have already completed the module do not need to retake the training.
Resources regarding discrimination and harassment prevention can be found at safety.wvu.edu.
