Every member of the WSU community deserves to work, learn, and participate in an environment free from discrimination and harassment.

UPPM 10.60, the university’s policy prohibiting discrimination and harassment, outlines our shared responsibility to foster a respectful, inclusive environment, and what to do when concerns arise. This required training helps you understand your role in supporting a community where everyone can fully access opportunities and feel respected.

Why It Matters to Your Work

Every employee plays a role in shaping the workplace environment. This training helps you recognize and respond to real situations that can impact others. Whether it’s something witnessed, experienced, or just doesn’t feel right, this course provides clarity on what to do, so you’re not left guessing about how to respond or where to go to for support.

While UPPM 10.60 sets expectations, this training goes further by helping you:

  • Understand how behaviors affect others
  • Respond appropriately and confidently in challenging situations
  • Contribute to a culture of respect, fairness, and accountability

At it’s core, UPPM 10.60 is about creating a work environment where everyone can do their job without fear of discrimination or harassment, and where support is available when it’s needed.

Who to Contact if You Need More Help

Learning Administrators support employees across the university by helping connect learners to required and optional training in Percipio. Assigned by area, college, or campus, they provide guidance on training access, completion, and compliance to support employee learning and development.

Contact your assigned Learning Administrator when you have questions about required training, assignments, or access to learning content in Percipio. They can also help if you encounter issues with enrollment, completion records, or need guidance on training requirements specific to your area, college, or campus.

If you know who your area’s Learning Administrator is, they’re your best first point of contact for questions about training, assignments, and learning support within your area. Learning Administrators work closely with Learning & Organizational Development (LOD) and can often help quickly resolve questions or guide you to the right next step.

You can contact LOD directly if you’re unsure who your Learning Administrator is, your question spans multiple areas or campuses, or you need additional support beyond what your Learning Administrator can provide.
