All faculty, officers of administration, classified employees, and graduate employees are required to complete workplace harassment & discrimination prevention training every year. Student employees are encouraged to complete the training, but are not required to do so.
Human Resources provides a web-based workplace harassment and discrimination prevention training based on university policies and state and federal legislation.
This training helps you understand:
- Your reporting obligations as a UO employee, including the 2024 changes to Title IX regulations;
- How to support students who have experienced sexual assault or misconduct;
- How to recognize harassing behavior and discrimination;
- How to handle harassment and discrimination in the workplace, and what support resources are available.
Web-based training is designed to provide consistent baseline information to large numbers of employees. Like all web-based training, it is most effective when coupled with other education, such as in-person trainings and facilitated discussions. Additional in-person trainings are available.
Training Requirement
New hires are required to complete the training within 90 days of beginning employment.
- Student employees are encouraged to complete the training but are not required to do so.
- Hourly employees will be paid for their time spent completing the training. Exempt employees can take the training during working hours.
- Alternate arrangements are available for employees who don't have access to a computer workstation.
Speak up to preserve a safe, inclusive workplace.
If you see something, say something. University employees are protected by federal and state laws and university policies, and have obligations as responsible employees under university policy to report information they have regarding instances of discrimination and harassment, including instances of gender discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual violence, dating and domestic violence, and stalking.
Visit the Office of Investigations and Civil Rights Compliance for more information about employee reporting obligations.
It is also important that all members of the university community understand that they can make complaints of prohibited discrimination or harassment to the Office of Investigations and Civil Rights Compliance, and that the university will take steps to protect them from retaliation.
