November 2008 Sessions of "Civility and
Violence: Preventing Workplace Violence"
Register by email to learning@baruch.cuny.edu.
Baruch College is committed to preventing workplace violence and ensuring a safe and secure academic and work environment for all members of the College community and its constituents. As a public employer, CUNY is required by law to develop and implement programs to prevent workplace violence. One way to reduce the potential for workplace violence is to intervene before a situation escalates into a violent incident. All faculty and staff are required to attend this mandatory training on how to recognize signs of a potentially violent situation.
“Civility and Violence” is the new name for the ongoing mandatory training program on preventing workplace violence. If you attended a “Preventing Workplace Violence” session in 2007 or 2008, you need not attend this class again. Over 700 faculty and staff have attended a session. Please note that adjunct faculty members and college assistants are required to attend. Adjunct faculty members who do NOT have professional hours will receive the non-teaching adjunct rate for their attendance.
The schedule of November sessions is as follows:
Wednesday, Nov. 5 2 pm to 4 pm 151 E. 25 St., Room 763
Wednesday, Nov. 12 10 am to Noon 151 E. 25 St., Room 763
Thursday, Nov. 20 12:45 pm to 2:15 pm 55 Lexington Ave, Room 14-285
To register for one of the training sessions, please send an e-mail to learning@baruch.cuny.edu, stating the session you would like to attend. You will receive a reply with a confirmation.
You can review CUNY's Policy on Workplace Violence at this link: http://portal.cuny.edu/cms/id/cuny/documents/level_3_page/007583.htm.
