Message from John P. Schlegel, S.J.

Creighton University is committed to maintaining a work and study environment free of sexual harassment. In keeping with our commitment, we have made arrangements for every employee and student to participate in an automated training program called Preventing Sexual Harassment. The program outlines the current law on sexual harassment and the University's policies and procedures for reporting sexual harassment. It also provides examples to illustrate the kinds of words and behavior that might reasonably be regarded as sexual harassment and therefore should be avoided.

While the training program primarily focuses on sexual harassment, the principles it teaches apply essentially the same way to all forms of discriminatory harassment.

As a university community, our goal must be to foster an environment that recognizes the worth and potential of every individual and communicates respect among all members. We strive for an inclusive community because it is the right thing to do. I am fully committed to this goal and I trust that you share my resolve to ensure a campus atmosphere that advances both the University's mission and its reputation for excellence.

Father John Schlegel
President
