Discrimination and Harassment Prevention

This interactive session focuses on institutional compliance, including strategies to support alignment with the provisions of the Duke Policy on Prohibited Discrimination, Harassment and Related Misconduct (the Policy). Participants will have an opportunity to delve more deeply into the Policy, procedures, and reporting obligations. Participants will receive relevant information about the scope of the Policy, the definition of prohibited conduct, conduct that might implicate the Policy, prohibited retaliation, reporting obligations and how to encourage a work and/or learning environment that aligns with the Policy. The workshop will also include an overview of the various complaint handling procedures.  Participants will: 

• Engage in real life scenarios.
• Engage in opportunities for real time responses to Policy-related situations and/or video content.
