In accordance with guidelines set forth by the Office of Civil
Rights, SUNY Poly’s Title IX Working Group will be presenting a
Title IX training for your department(s).
The training will review:

- employee responsibilities under Title IX
- how to reporting works on campus
- the responsibilities of the Title IX Coordinator
- resources and remedies available
- the new SUNY wide sexual violence prevention policies
Sexual Harassment Prevention in the Workplace
On January 1, 2011, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo issued Executive
Order No. 2 reissuing Executive Order No. 19,32 which
established State policy on sexual harassment in the workplace.
As noted in the Executive Order, sexual harassment is both
offensive and unlawful. Every State employee is entitled to a
working environment free from sexual harassment and its negative
economic, psychological and physical effects. As employees of
the Research Foundation for SUNY and/or the State University of
New York, we all have a responsibility to uphold our commitment
to creating a working and academic environment free of
harassment and discrimination, and your responsibility for
prevention is paramount.
To educate and promote awareness and prevention in the SUNY
Poly community, you are required to take a training on Sexual
Harassment Prevention by November 2015. To help you achieve
this goal, SUNY Poly Human Resources staff invites you to this
training; the program is Sexual Harassment, Awareness,
Responsibility and Prevention (SHARP).
Attendance is considered mandatory for all SUNY Poly
employees; if you are unable to attend at the scheduled time
please contact Caitlin Dempsey (
Caitlin.Dempsey@sunypoly.edu
) to be added to another of the sessions available.
