Received this beauty in my work inbox today. Nope, not spam. Went to all new students, and select administration.
Paying money doesn’t mean you get to harass other students who also paid money… Maybe that’s your first lesson.
Usually typos are the result of multiple people having their own template form that only gets sent to their initializing accounts. It’s not an unforgivable one though if it gets the point across (it does). They probably don’t get many replies on that one since not agreeing to T9 is reason for removal from most roles including publicly funded college students.
Every university in the US has this. It’s required by Title 9.
I remember back in grad school they told us we would have to take an ethics seminar and I thought it might be something interesting about the role of a scientist in society or something like that, but it was actually pretty much just “Don’t have sex with the undergraduates, even though technically there isn’t a strict rule against it.”
I don’t get why this is infuriating? Any job that you take is going to have you take the same training about diversity, sexual harassment, etc. I don’t see anything in the email saying that this training is going to cost you anything extra.
Are you just pissed off that there’s so many grammar and spelling mistakes in an email sent from a university? They probably used AI to write it or it was written by the outsourced vendor that provides the training materials.
AI would write better, with no weird spelling errors, this is human slop. But honestly, who cares, you can skim it and get the point.

It is? I have never had to take such classes… maybe that’s an American thing?
I can also see being pissed about my time being wasted, especially if I had paid for being there… which is in itself outrageous.
Am an American with a (remote) office job, can confirm. Not only do they make you take the classes, they make you retake them every year. I usually don’t mind though because it means I get to chill out and game for a couple hours while I let the videos play on mute.
Yup it is part of the annual code of conduct training at my work.
I also had to attend sexual harassment and alcohol abuse lectures as a part of freshman orientation at my university back 20ish years ago. It didn’t cost extra, so I’m not sure what the title is referring to. The title makes it seem like they are infuriated by the required training in general, which really doesn’t make much sense to me.
It’s so they can deny responsibility for an incident because the perpetrator took the training.

I’d just ignore that, and if questioned, say you assumed it was spam based on the poor grammar.
You have to pay 10k for a sexual assault module? I can teach you all about it for $20
For $100 I WON’T teach you about it.
