Late last year, Wichita State University announced that all students, faculty and staff would be required to complete mandatory training on preventing harassment and discrimination. This prevention training, which is led through WSU’s Office of Institutional Compliance, is not only important in making our campus a welcoming and equitable environment, but it’s also important for Title IX compliance. If you have completed your training, I want to express my very sincere appreciation for helping us make real progress in making our campus safe, inclusive and equitable. If you have not completed the training, it is very important that you do so no later than today, March 18. The “Preventing Harassment and Discrimination” training is accessible on the Faculty/Staff tab on the myWSU page under “Employee Required Training.” Student employees can access the training on the myFinances tab under “Student Required Training.” University supervisors should follow up with their employees to ensure that they are completing the training by the March 18 deadline. Supervisors are expected to work with employees needing accommodations or extensions as necessary. Sincerely, Rick Muma, WSU president
