Executive/Managerial Staff: In addition to the Harassment and Discrimination, you are also required to complete the Workplace Violence Prevention and Hawaii Ethics Code trainings.

In January 2023, the University’s online training service provider merged with another company and moved to a new platform, so all historical training records may not be easily accessible to you, although the Office of Equity Assurance (OEA) / OIE has retained such records.

If you feel the training history shown under “Training History” is incomplete, please contact OEA / OIE at institutional.equity@hawaii.edu.

No, training progress and completion data for the archived training is preserved in the University’s learning management system and in the UH System Office of Equity Assurance (OEA) / OIE’s records.

The type and amount of training will vary depending on each employee’s role, but all employees must complete Title IX training to ensure compliance with federal regulations.
