No, this is not related to Title IX federal legislation. In the 2019 legislative session the Connecticut General Assembly passed and the Governor signed Public Acts 19-16 and 19-93, which together constitute the Time’s Up Act.  The Act involves several significant changes to Connecticut’s employment laws, with a particular focus on expanding sexual harassment prevention laws.  This law applies to all employers, it is not just education-based.

Yes, you must complete this on-line training.  This law states that all employees, regardless of previous training, must be re-trained.  Additionally, this requirement does not replace the current Title VII-Title IX training which is a one-time, in-person, foundation workshop.  Title VII-Title IX is a Wesleyan-specific requirement for all full-time faculty, staff and graduate students and has been offered since 2014, most recently in faculty, staff and graduate orientation as well as through Success@WES.  If you have not participated previously you can sign up when the schedule resumes fall '20 semester.

Many employers in Connecticut are using this training so, if you have completed this same on-line training for another workplace/organization, you can simply send the certificate to Debbie so we can update the database and mark you completed.

No, you need not send the certificate of completion; but you should keep that for your records should you need it in the future.  We have a record of who completes this training.

Yes, we were told there should be no problem taking the training one part at a time; the only thing you are unable to do is to get back into the middle of a segment and pick up where you were.

Someplace visible to those in your area, faculty or staff kitchen, copy room, etc. Any space where people pass through on occasion, is perfect.
