Across the university’s Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses and at Michigan Medicine, we are committed to eliminating sexual and gender-based misconduct through education and training that promotes policy awareness, bystander intervention, and reporting.
For Employees
U-M requires all faculty, staff, and student employees to complete Preventing & Responding to Sexual Misconduct, an online training module that provides information on the university’s sexual and gender-based misconduct policy, employee reporting obligations, and how to respond to and support impacted individuals.
Additional Trainings
- The Prevention, Education, Assistance & Resources (PEAR) office within ECRT provides sexual and gender-based misconduct prevention education and workshops for employees across Ann Arbor, Flint, and Dearborn campuses, and Michigan Medicine.
- Preventing Harassment and Discrimination provides employees with information about how the university responds to, and how we can help prevent, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, sexual harassment and stalking.
- The Division of Public Safety & Security provides a Sexual Assault Awareness module.
For Students
U-M requires all incoming new students (graduate and undergraduate) to participate in a series of required online modules, Community Matters, that cover harm reduction and prevention related to sexual assault, alcohol and other drugs, discrimination, and mental health and well-being.
