Furman is committed to maintaining and strengthening a community founded on civility and respect. Sexual harassment and assault are antithetical to the values and standards of the Furman community and are not tolerated. As members of this community, you play an important role in making our campus a safe place where everyone feels respected and valued.
As you know, faculty and staff are required annually to complete an online course on preventing and addressing sexual misconduct, which contains important information about your responsibilities if a student or another employee reports concerns regarding sexual misconduct. Furman partners with United Educators, a company that offers training solutions for students and employees of post-secondary institutions in order to meet the compliance requirements set forth by Federal law.
The United Educators’ Title IX training – “Title IX and You: Protecting Your Campus” is a blend of short videos, statements, and simple quizzes. Most have found that it can be completed in about 45 minutes. Please download and review these instructions before you begin.
The deadline for completing the training is Friday, February 14, 2025. As there is no single sign on for this training, it will be necessary to access the United Educators’ login page either from this webpage or from MyFurman and selecting “Harassment Training” from the A-Z Index. Unique usernames and passwords were e-mailed to each employee. The e-mail, “Campus-Wide Title IX Training” was sent on January 6 from the Title IX e-mail address.
Please note that any new employee who completed the training in December 2024 is not required to complete the training at this time.
Furman faculty and staff are encouraged to take a few minutes to review Furman’s Sexual Misconduct Policy at www.furman.edu/titleIX. This policy provides resources and support for those reporting sexual misconduct, as well as a fair and thorough process for investigating and resolving complaints. For questions regarding the policy, please contact Title IX and ADA Coordinator, Melissa Nichols.
