Compliance Trainings

All of CUSM’s community — students, staff, faculty and other academic appointees — are required to receive comprehensive Title IX compliance training that is commonly described as sexual discrimination (i.e., quid pro quo, hostile work environment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking) prevention and intervention education. The Title IX curriculum designed for CUSM constituents is released throughout the year virtually and in-person. These Title IX trainings are tailored for each CUSM audience, to educate our community about the history of Title IX, become aware of sex-based harassment and sexual discrimination statistics, understand why Title IX is an important topic, learn how to prevent all forms of sexual misconduct, comprehend the role of intervention, and discover local resources and support systems that are available for both students and employees.
Key concepts covered in CUSM’s online and in-person Title IX education curriculum include:
  • Definitions of different forms of sexual discrimination (i.e., quid pro quo, hostile work environment, sexual assault, interpersonal violence (domestic and dating violence), stalking)
  • Additional protected categories and their rights under Title IX (e.g., individuals that are pregnant or parenting)
  • Social norms, including the attitudes and beliefs that can normalize sexual discrimination
  • Local resources, including confidential supports on- and off- campus
  • Rights and options about reporting sex-based harassment and sexual misconduct
