Structured around a motivational self-assessment in each area, Essentials incorporates audio, video, and interactive tools and lessons to teach students key concepts and skills.

University Employee Sexual Misconduct Training The online training “Employee Title IX and Compliance Training" is made available to all employees. Additionally, all employees that the university has designated as “Responsible Employees” are required to take the online module on an annual basis, and new employees are notified to take the training upon joining the university.

This includes key definitions (including sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and consent), information on bystander intervention and risk reduction, signs of abusive relationships, information about confidentiality and privacy, available supportive measures, and an overview of the university process, and what happens when information regarding an incident of sexual misconduct is brought to the university’s attention.
