Prevention and Training for Employees

The federal law known as Title IX is about more than ensuring gender equity in sports. It, in fact, prohibits sex-based discrimination in education by addressing sexual harassment and sexual violence, including sexual assault, domestic/dating violence and stalking. The law applies to everyone at Auburn University – students, faculty and staff – regardless of gender.

Employees at Auburn University support those impacted by sexual misconduct, but must understand their various responsibilities. The following courses are available through Elevated.

Courses

1. Elevated online course CR500E Title IX and Discrimination, Identifying and Responding to Sexual Misconduct

This one-hour online course explains how Auburn University's Title IX and Discrimination policies protect students, employees, and third parties from sexual and gender-based harassment and sexual misconduct.

2. Elevated online course SS500E Campus Security Authorities Training

Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are required to report certain criminal offenses as outlined by federal law; specifically crimes identified by the "Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act" (Clery Act). This course: 1) explains the basics of the Clery Act, 2) defines who is classified as a CSA, 3) identifies the types of crimes required to be reported, 4) when to report crimes, and 5) how to report crimes. This training lasts approximately 45-minutes.

3. Human Resource Development
