Preventing Harassment and Discrimination

Dear Canisius Campus Community:

Every employer in New York State is required to provide employees with sexual harassment prevention training on an annual basis. Canisius College is committed to maintaining a workplace free from sexual harassment and is partnering with Everfi to provide “Preventing Harassment and Discrimination.”

This course prepares our faculty and staff to cultivate and maintain a workplace culture resistant to discrimination, harassment and retaliation. Faculty and staff will be equipped with the information and skills that promote intervention, empathy, and allyship. This course includes a section specific to requirements under Title IX and the Clery Act.

To comply with the New York State deadline, we ask that you complete Preventing Harassment and Discrimination by December 31.

Everfi Training Invitation

Your training invitation will be sent directly from Everfi this week.  

The self-paced, interactive course takes most people about 45 minutes to complete. The Everfi support team is available here to provide assistance by phone, email, or chat. If you have any other questions about this required course, please contact the Human Resources Office at 716-888-2240.
