UCOP Sexual Harassment Prevention

Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for Supervisors & Faculty

Effective January 1, 2005 (per Assembly Bill 1825), supervisors and faculty are required to have two hours of sexual harassment prevention training every two years. Many supervisors and faculty completed their initial training in 2005. Since it is two years since this training was taken, they must now take the revised course. The deadline for completing the course is December 31, 2007.

Like the 2005 version, the interactive 2007 course is designed to take two hours and includes scenarios aimed at helping supervisors and faculty recognize and prevent sexual harassment situations in the workplace.

The course can be taken from any computer with Internet access. The course does not have to be taken in one sitting; for those who need to return to the training, the program will take them to where they last were in the course.

The supervisors and faculty who are required to take the course this year will be sent an e-mail from Judy Boyette, Associate Vice President, Human Resources and Benefits, from the email address, uctraining@ucop.edu with a personalized link to the online training course. Periodic reminders will be sent to those who have not completed the course. If you lost or did not receive the email with your personalized link, please contact uctraining@ucop.edu.

The definition of supervisor under this new law is as follows: "Supervisor" is defined in the Fair Employment & Housing Act (FEHA) as any individual with authority to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge, assign, reward, or discipline other employees and any individual with responsibility to direct employees or to adjust their grievances, or effectively to recommend that action.

Intended For: All supervisors and faculty --Please see Appendix A page 31 of the Sex Offense Policy Booklet.
