Education & Training
The University of Michigan-Flint is committed to eliminating sexual and gender-based misconduct. Every member of our community shares the responsibility to report sexual misconduct, support those who come forward, and participate in education and training programs.
Required Employee Training
ECRT has developed the required online training for all employees, which provides crucial information on the university’s policies, procedures and reporting requirements. The training is not available on a mobile device and must be completed on a computer or tablet.

Should you desire any additional support, please contact the Center for Gender and Sexuality.
Other Education and Training Initiatives
UM-Flint provides sexual assault awareness and prevention education, including sexual violence prevention programs. These programs include bystander intervention training, consent, alcohol awareness, and multi-tiered educational programs for students, faculty, and staff. Educational workshops foster and maintain a welcoming, supportive, inclusive and diverse working and learning environment.
Faculty and staff are encouraged to complete the online Haven for Faculty and Staff program. The training provides information about how the university responds to, and how we can help prevent, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, sexual harassment; and stalking.
Under the university’s Interim Policy and Procedures on Student Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct and Other Forms of Interpersonal Violence, faculty and staff in certain roles are considered “Responsible Employees” and are required to share information about suspected misconduct to the Institutional Equity Specialist. UM-Flint offers an online training module to help better understand these responsibilities.
UM-Flint has developed a special guide to help you make decisions about what to do when a sexual assault occurs.
The Department of Public Safety provides a Sexual Assault Awareness module. For more information on intimate partner violence and stalking, visit the U-M’s Abuse Hurts webpage.
