Title VI Training for Columbia Faculty and Staff
The Title VI Training for Columbia Employees is required by the University and includes faculty, staff, researchers, librarians, contractors, and student workers.
The Title VI Training focuses on the University’s obligation to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin. The training provides an overview of what Title VI means for Columbia employees, scenarios illustrating Title VI issues, the duty to report, and how the University addresses allegations of prohibited conduct. We recognize that your time is valuable and hope that this training is instructive.
Columbia University is committed to providing a learning, living, and working environment free from unlawful discrimination and harassment and to fostering a nurturing and vibrant community founded upon the fundamental dignity of all its members. In addition to helping the Columbia community comply with the University’s obligations under Title VI, this training importantly serves our shared responsibility for fostering an environment of inclusivity and respect.
The training itself should take approximately 45 minutes to complete.
