Join us for an insightful webinar examining the current state of harassment and discrimination prevention in higher education.

This session will present comprehensive data comparing the 2020-21 and 2024-25 academic years, focusing on faculty and staff knowledge of reporting procedures, comfort levels with reporting, and evolving attitudes toward harassment and discrimination.

We’ll analyze perceived barriers to reporting and explore trends that have emerged over this four-year period. This data-driven presentation will provide Texas higher education leaders with actionable insights to strengthen their institutional prevention and response strategies.
