@WeedenKim Security theater. And the TWO hour one Yale has contracted for is intellectually incoherent.

@NAChristakis Does CT require universities to provide the training and make sure all employees go through it? NY does.

@WeedenKim Oh come on. Lets create a culture in which ppl understand sexual harassment.

@dymekval I'd much rather employers put money, employee time, and administrator energy into programs and org practices that work, and about which there is reasonably convincing evidence that they work.

@RogueWPA Yes. In NY, universities are required (by the state) to require annual anti-harassment training. I don't know if the content of the training is also mandated, or if universities could meet the state requirements with bystander intervention training.

@WeedenKim Yep. And the cynic in me thinks EVERYONE in the administration knows that, and it's all about the CYA.

@WeedenKim @NAChristakis Point of the training: It's not the quiz, it's that they're watching people's behavior.

@WeedenKim If it doesn't already exist, there should be a supercut of bad HR videos on this subject.

@WeedenKim This comic is twenty five years old now

@WeedenKim @CathyYoung63 On the other hand, it's useful to inform sexual harassers they can be shitcanned for being subhuman mopes -- something they may not have taken into account prior to being subhuman mopes

@WeedenKim In case anyone is looking for ideas to make these better: While I walk into most trainings already rolling my eyes, I found one SH training valuable. It was about establishing norms/guardrails to prevent unprofessional situations from arising before it gets to a harassment level.

@WeedenKim All I could think while watching this year’s video was how the woman said law like lull. No sign of an accent otherwise.

@WeedenKim The video and quiz is meant to indemnify our employers, not prevent harassment!

@WeedenKim @EricKlinenberg The one I took seemed more about identifying and reporting.
