RE: On-Line Program on Preventing Sexual Harassment

Montclair State University, like other socially-responsible institutions, recognizes the importance of addressing the issue of sexual harassment in order to assure that all can work and learn in an environment that allows individual development and accomplish-ment. In order to support the University's educational efforts in regards to sexual harassment, an on-line program on preventing sexual harassment has been provided for use by the campus.

This on-line training program offers an efficient and unintrusive way of providing information on sexual harassment to all employees and has been used successfully by other institutions including Columbia University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The program is competency based and includes a mastery test. There is also a special version available for managers and supervisors.

All employees are expected to participate in a training/awareness program on sexual harassment, and this on-line program provides an effective way for you to meet that obligation. Please refer to the attached brochure for information on how to access this program, and I encourage your participation and feedback.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this program, please contact Barbara Milton, Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Officer, at extension 4349.

Thank You.

Dr. Susan A. Cole,
President
