Kimberly Hewitt, J.D., Vice President for Institutional Equity & Cynthia Clinton, J.D., Associate Vice President for Harassment & Discrimination Prevention

This interactive session focuses on institutional compliance, including strategies to support alignment with the provisions of the Duke Policy on Prohibited Discrimination, Harassment and Related Misconduct (the Policy). Participants will have an opportunity to delve more deeply into the Policy, its procedures and its reporting obligations. Participants will receive relevant information about the Policy's scope, what are various types of prohibited conduct, how to recognize conduct that might implicate the Policy, prohibited retaliation, reporting obligations and how to encourage a work and/or learning environment that aligns with the Policy. The workshop will also include an overview of the various complaint handling procedures.

Participants will:

  • Engage in real life scenarios.
  • Engage in opportunities for real time responses to Policy-related situations and/or video content.
  • Receive material designed to equip them with the knowledge to utilize resources (such as OIE).
  • Learn techniques to initially respond to reported concerns or conduct in an appropriate manner.

Facilitated by: Kimberly Hewitt, J.D., Vice President for Institutional Equity & Cynthia Clinton, J.D., Associate Vice President for Harassment & Discrimination Prevention
