Prevention and Training at John Jay
John Jay College is committed not only to responding to incidents of bias, misconduct, harassment or discrimination, but to preventing such incidents through education and training and fostering a positive school climate that embraces respect, diversity and inclusion. To seek anti-discrimination or harassment prevention training for John Jay students, faculty, or employees, contact Gabriela Leal at gleal@jjay.cuny.edu or 646-557-4674.
Sexual Harassment Prevention Online Training
- All employees must complete the Employee Sexual and Interpersonal Violence Prevention and Response Course (“ESPARC”) upon hire, and annually thereafter. View instructions for how to access the course.
- All incoming and transfer students (and certain other subsets of students) are required to complete the Sexual and Interpersonal Violence Prevention and Response Course (“SPARC”). If you are still required to take this course, this (and instructions for how to access it) will be indicated on your Blackboard home page. Other John Jay students who wish to take the course voluntarily should contact Jessica Greenfield at jgreenfield@jjay.cuny.edu.
Responsible and Confidential Employee Training:
While all members of our community are encouraged to report acts of sexual misconduct, those designated as a “Responsible Employee” at John Jay College are required to report to the Title IX Coordinator, Gabriela Leal, any potential instance of discrimination, sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, sexual violence, domestic violence, intimate partner violence and stalking that they become aware of. On the other hand, Confidential Employees will not make a report regarding sexual misconduct unless there is an emergency or they have permission to do so.
As part of CUNY’s ongoing training and prevention efforts, CUNY has required that all Responsible and Confidential Employees receive training on the new Policy on Sexual Misconduct by September 18, 2020. Responsible and Confidential Employees at John Jay received training pursuant to CUNY guidelines. To access the Responsible and Confidential Employee Training, please click here.
For more information on Responsible Employees you may wish to refer to our F.A.Q.s for Responsible Employees and/or refer to #5 on the Q&A on CUNY’s New Sexual Misconduct Policy.
