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.
