The University has implemented an online sexual harassment education and prevention program designed for employees, students and individuals affiliated with the University at Buffalo.

This program is an on-line tutorial that includes definitions of behaviors that constitute sexual harassment, information about related laws and policies, interactive exercises to test the user’s knowledge, extensive resource material, reporting procedures, and campus contacts.  Additional features of the program include a short subject mastery test, a completion certificate that can be printed for the individual’s record, and an e-mail link for user comments.

Members of the University community are encouraged to avail themselves of this resource and to become informed about our collective responsibility to maintain a campus environment free from sexual harassment or any form of discrimination.

The online program may be accessed at:

The Sexual Harassment Information Advisor is the contact person for his/her School or Administrative Unit concerning sexual harassment and related topics for informational and training purposes.  We have provided a list of the Sexual Harassment Information Advisors below.
