Staff and faculty from across the university are invited to attend a training aimed at providing a brief overview about the ADA(AA) and increasing awareness of U of I policies, procedures and resources surrounding ADA.

This session will explore interpersonal behavior in various social and professional situations, and include examples of how participant’s behavior may be misconstrued as inappropriate or harassing, including sexual in nature, and the consequences of these kinds of behaviors. It will also cover social norms such as body space, body language and direct communication.

We’ve all seen it in the news, scathing headlines about the most recent sexual assault that occurred on a college campus. It’s an all too common story but it doesn’t have to be that way at the University of Idaho. Consent doesn’t have to be a scary or complex topic. Join us for a conversation about getting and giving consent. We’ll break it down and give you the tools and understanding you need to enter college informed, prepared and ready to start getting and giving consent in every aspect of life.

In this workshop, we invite employees to learn more about what protections and rights exist under Title VII and Title IX. During this session you’ll learn how the University of Idaho responds to reports of discrimination and gain a better understanding of what happens in an investigation process once a complaint is filed.

Under the guidance of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the ADA Advisory Committee, in collaboration with the Office of Civil Rights and Investigations, has created service animal guidelines for University of Idaho employees.
