Industry:
Solution:
Higher Education Institutions are navigating a complex landscape where compliance with legal standards, accountability to drive student outcomes, and transformation of the role of colleges and universities in our community intersect. Faculty and staff play a central role in shaping campus environments, yet they often face unique challenges—from navigating faculty-student dynamics to understanding mandatory reporting obligations. Addressing these challenges requires more than just meeting legal requirements; it demands training that fosters a culture of respect, empathy, and accountability.
That’s where RespectEdu for Faculty and Staff comes in.
Meeting Compliance, Strengthening the Campus Environment
RespectEdu equips employees with the knowledge and confidence to recognize, prevent, and respond to harassment and discrimination while aligning with federal and state compliance requirements. But it goes further, using real-world scenarios and trauma-informed approaches to create meaningful learning experiences that resonate with today’s diverse campus workforce.
RespectEdu training is designed to be:
- Engaging and Practical – built around interactive scenarios and relatable stories.
- Efficient – streamlined course lengths while retaining impact.
- Empathetic – delivered with an emotionally intelligent, trauma-informed approach.
- Adaptable – customizable content, available in multiple formats and state-specific versions.
Course Offerings
RespectEdu for Faculty & Staff includes:
- Supervisor Training – equipping leaders to identify, prevent, and address misconduct.
- Non-Supervisor Training – empowering all employees to understand their responsibilities and respond effectively.
- Title IX & Clery Act Training – helping employees meet reporting obligations with clarity and compassion.
In addition, institutions can extend learning with modules addressing topics such as Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and Title VI, offering flexible options to meet state-specific time requirements and support the ongoing education of faculty and staff.
More Than Compliance
RespectEdu is built to help institutions go beyond “checking the box.” With customizable content, multilingual support, and robust analytics that capture learner perceptions and behaviors, these courses enable campuses to track progress, measure impact, and continually improve their prevention efforts.
