Subject: What is your responsibility if you become aware of sexual harassment?

Leaders in CALS,

There has been much in the media lately regarding harassment and assault.  It makes sense to remind ourselves of the laws and policies around harassment, and our obligation as leaders to report and respond to issues that we become aware of.

The college created apolicy<https://cals.arizona.edu/cbs/policies/offer-letter-verbiage-inserts> that requires offer letters to include the mandate on employees to review theUA anti-discrimination and harassment training<http://equity.arizona.edu/training/online-training> within 30 days of employment.  This training is available online.  I retook the training this morning and found it helpful to refresh my memory.  I encourage all leaders to do the same.

Please ensure that all of your employees have taken the training within 30 days of this email.

As leaders, we have a duty under the UA policy to reasonably prevent inappropriate activities, exercise management responsibility to stop inappropriate activities or behaviors, and report these concerns to either the Dean of Students (DOS) or the Office of Institutional Equity (OIE).  We also have a duty to prevent or stop retaliation against individuals who engage in protected activities, like reporting harassing behaviors.
