RISE: Resources, Intervention, Support, & Education provides live trainings in person or via Zoom for faculty, staff, students and student organizations, and departments on issues related to sexual assault, gender-based violence, domestic/dating/intimate partner violence and abuse, and stalking.
Trainings for Students and Employees
All new students, including first-time freshmen and incoming graduate and professional students, as well as all transfer students, must complete U Got This! an online video-based program that provides critical information about sexual assault, consent, dating and domestic violence, bystander intervention, sexual harassment, and alcohol abuse.
UMKC requires annual training for all employees covering discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment and sexual misconduct, as well as related University policies.
UMKC has created and made available additional trainings for students and employees on topics relevant to our work in discrimination and harassment prevention:
- Prohibited Conduct: These modules outline policy information contained within the UM System Collected Rules and Regulations (CRRs) on Equity and Title IX.
- Mandated Reporter: This module provides information on employees’ responsibilities as mandated reporters under Chapter 600 of the UM System Collected Rules and Regulations.
Title IX Trainings
The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights requires all institutions receiving federal funds to make publicly available all materials used to train Title IX Coordinators, investigators, and decision-makers. In meeting this requirement, UMKC has provided materials or links to materials on our website.
