The required “Supervisor: Anti-Harassment, Discrimination, Retaliation (CA-13-H)” online training module does not currently reflect these shifts to policy and procedure, discuss larger Title IX issues at Cal Poly, or offer guidance on best practices for faculty to support students who are undergoing Title IX investigations; and incidents of sexual assault and misconduct are known to be significantly underreported, and in light of recent mandates, there has been a freezing effect on students’ willingness to report such cases; therefore, be it that the Academic Senate recommends that all faculty members undergo Title IX Refresher Training to understand their responsibilities and opportunities for supporting students; and be it further that the Academic Senate recommends that Cal Poly support and offer appropriate resources for the administration of Title IX Refresher Training designed and facilitated collaboratively by the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies, Title IX staff, SAFER, and the Center for Teaching, Learning & Technology; and be it further that the Academic Senate recommends that Cal Poly establish incentives to encourage faculty and members of Professional Consultative Services to participate in Title IX Refresher Training.
