Sexual Harassment Prevention

The Equal Opportunity Office (EOO) provides ongoing training in the prevention of sexual harassment to Western Washington University employees.  Federal law prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace and in accordance with University policy, this training is required for every Western employee.  The trainings provide important information on how to recognize what is and what is not sexual harassment, and how to handle it if it occurs.  The trainings also review the University’s complaint discrimination procedures to ensure that all employees are aware of their rights to file a complaint, should they be a victim of harassment. 

Specialized training in the prevention of sexual harassment for supervisors or other constituent groups is available upon request.
