Once you achieve a score of 75 percent or greater on the post-training assessment, the Title IX hold on your registration will be lifted, typically within an hour.
The annual training is designed to address:
- interim FAS policies and procedures for addressing Title IX sexual and gender-based harassment and other sexual misconduct
- the role of Title IX resource coordinators
- resources that provide support
- the Office for Gender Equity (OGE)
- sexual harassment/assault resources & education (SHARE) counselors
- procedures for formal complaints
- bystander intervention
- a culture of healthy norms and values.
Three additional voluntary modules are designed to address specific issues that Harvard Griffin GSAS students may encounter during their studies at Harvard.
- Teaching Fellows describes your responsibilities as a teaching fellow (TF), discusses policies specific to teaching undergraduate and graduate students, and presents scenarios that you may encounter as a TF.
- Study and Research Abroad describes issues that may arise when you are studying or researching in an unfamiliar environment, suggests steps you can take to reduce risks, and details resources you can access while outside the United States.
- Bystander Intervention discusses situations in which you may witness inappropriate or concerning behavior and provides tools you can use to help Harvard achieve a culture of civility and respect for all.
These trainings contain sensitive subject matter. Please email Seth Avakian (avakian@fas.harvard.edu) with questions about content and accessibility, or if you feel that you are unable to complete the training.
