Mandatory Employee Sexual Harassment Prevention Training: Deadline October 8, 2021

New York State enacted legislation in 2018 requiring all employers, including Buffalo State College, to ensure that their employees complete sexual harassment prevention training annually. The Equity and Campus Diversity Office has developed a 20-minute online program that meets all New York State requirements for sexual harassment prevention training. The training must be completed online using BizLibrary no later than Friday, October 8, 2021.

We are excited to announce that we will be using BizLibrary, an online employee training system, for the training this year. Employees can log in to BizLibrary to complete the training by following these steps:

  1. Visit BizLibrary (http://buffalostate.bizlibrary.com), which will bring you to a Microsoft page. Enter your Buffalo State College email address.
  2. The Buffalo State College log-in page will appear. Enter your campus username and password.
  3. Complete the “2021 Mandatory Sexual Harassment Prevention Training” under “My Assignments,” which includes a 12-minute video and associated quiz and a five-minute video and associated quiz.

Student employees, including graduate students, work-study students, and student workers, are also required to complete the mandatory sexual harassment training. The training will be made available to student employees on Tuesday, September 28, following the work-study student employment deadline. Student employees should take the following steps to complete the training:

  1. Visit BizLibrary (http://buffalostate.bizlibrary.com), which will bring you to a Microsoft page. Enter your student username with @buffalostate.edu after your username (your username is the first part of your email address before “@”). DO NOT enter your student Gmail address.
  2. The Buffalo State College log-in page will appear. Enter your student username and password.
  3. Complete the “2021 Mandatory Sexual Harassment Prevention Training” under “My Assignments,” which includes a 12-minute video and associated quiz and a five-minute video and associated quiz.

Department managers will receive an email on Tuesday, September 28, with instructions on how to see the mandatory sexual harassment prevention training completion status for employees they supervise. Supervisors are asked to monitor and encourage employees to complete the training by the Friday, October 8, deadline.
