  • Preventing Workplace Harassment
    • An online course developed for the BGSU community
      The goal of this online course is to enable participants to identify sexual harassment behaviors and with this knowledge, keep BGSU free of sexual harassment. The module presents information about sexual harassment behaviors and concludes by asking participants to complete a mastery test. Upon successful completion of the test, the participant will obtain a printed certificate of completion.
  • Preventing Employment Discrimination
    • An online course developed for the BGSU community. The program is divided into two parts, each approximately 30 minutes in length with a 15-question mastery test at the end of each part. A score of 80% or greater is required for successful completion. Part 1 covers federal laws (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Equal Pay Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act); and Part 2 covers other federal employment laws and statutes enforced by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission (Affirmative Action Plan, Fair Labor Standards Act, Family and Medical Leave Act, Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Jobs for Veterans Act, Legal Theories under EEO Law, and Respectful Workplace). The primary goal of this course is to enable participants to identify, avoid and report behaviors that appear to violate employment discrimination laws.
