Canisius is committed to maintaining a workplace free from sexual harassment. Every employer in New York State is required to provide employees with sexual harassment prevention training on an annual basis. As an alternative to the online training option, the College is partnering with Phillips Lytle to provide this in-person training option to meet the requirement for 2023. You are only required to register for one of the sessions listed below to meet the training requirement.
The following sessions are scheduled for the fall semester in the Regis Room:
Wednesday, September 13 from 12:00 -1:00 p.m.
Thursday, September 14 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Our training discussion will include:
- an explanation of sexual harassment consistent with guidance issued by the Department of Labor in consultation with the Division of Human Rights
- examples of conduct that would constitute unlawful sexual harassment
- information concerning the federal and state statutory provisions concerning sexual harassment and remedies available to victims of sexual harassment
- information regarding filing a complaint and all available forums for adjudicating complaints
- information addressing conduct by supervisors and any additional responsibilities for such supervisors
