Across the university’s Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses and at Michigan Medicine, we are committed to eliminating sexual and gender-based misconduct. Every member of our community shares the responsibility to report sexual and gender-based misconduct, support those who come forward, and participate in education and training programs.
Faculty and Staff
Required: Cultivating a Culture of Respect
The “Cultivating a Culture of Respect: Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Awareness” is a mandatory 15 minute online session for all new U-M employees about maintaining a respectful, inclusive, and equitable working and learning environment free from sexual harassment and misconduct. If you encounter any accessibility issues when using the MyLINC training platform, and follow the directions for certifying your participation. The transcript can also be accessed from the Course Description in MyLINC.
