The university is committed to creating a safe and respectful learning environment. As part of that commitment, the university requires that all students, faculty, staff, and affiliates meet an annual training requirement. These trainings also help the university meet its obligations under Title IX, VAWA, and the Clery Act.
About Online Sexual Misconduct Prevention and Response Training
Online trainings are available for undergraduate students, graduate and professional students, and faculty and staff. The trainings are completed via UNL's Bridge Learning Management System. All trainings deal with sensitive topics in a frank and engaging manner. If a member of the campus community is concerned about how taking the training may impact them, options are available. The trainings have been developed by Catharsis Productions, whose mission is "to change the world by producing innovative, accessible and research-supported programming that challenges oppressive attitudes and shifts behavior."
