Tulane is committed to maintaining a workplace free of sexual harassment and discrimination. One of the ways we do this is through providing annual mandatory online training courses. These courses are designed to educate all of us on how to better recognize, respond, report and to ultimately prevent discrimination and sexual harassment at Tulane.
There are two courses. One is designed for non-supervisory employees and the other for employees who supervise others.
To schedule a session contact Michelle Fields at 504-247-1783 or mfields3@tulane.edu.
