ºÚÁÏÍø

ºÚÁÏÍø is committed to providing a non-discriminatory university community. In support of this commitment, the Office of Gender Equity and Title IX have assembled a variety of learning experiences to educate faculty, staff and students about response, prevention, recovery, and resource components associated with gender/sexual discrimination and harassment.

Training Session topics will consist of the following information:

• The university’s policy definitions of gender/sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, stalking and intimate partner violence;
• Strategies Kent State uses to prevent these incidents;
• Bystander intervention strategies to use when you witness behaviors on campus;
• Ways you can support individuals who experience sexual harassment and sexual violence;
• Support resources that faculty, staff and students can use on campus and in the community;
• ºÚÁÏÍø’s policies and procedures for responding to and investigating reports

The Office of Gender Equity and Title IX facilitator-led trainings are listed below. Dates are subject to change or cancellation.
