Green Dot is a bystander intervention program aimed at reducing and preventing power-based personal violence such as sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking.  It is centered around one thought: If everyone does one thing, no one will have to do everything. A Green Dot is your choice at any moment to make campus safer by promoting safety for everyone and letting others know that you will not tolerate violence. A Green Dot is any behavior, choice, word or attitude that sends a clear message that: 1) Violence is not okay with you, and 2) Everyone is expected to do their part. (766-3296, greendot@uwyo.edu)

Training for the Title IX Team

The new Title IX regulations that became effective in August 2020 included a requirement that Title IX Coordinators, investigators, decision-makers, and any person who facilitates an informal resolution process receive specific types training to ensure a thorough and unbiased process.  The regulations also require that institutions publish the materials they use when training these individuals. The materials must not rely on sex stereotypes and must promote impartial investigations and adjudications of formal complaints of sexual harassment.
