Why is this mandatory? 

Federal law requires that Temple ensure that all students receive sexual misconduct training. The law and its implementing regulations apply to all students and makes no distinction among undergraduate, graduate and professional school students, in person or online learners.  Therefore, the President’s Committee on Sexual Misconduct recommended strongly that every Temple student should have continuing education on the issues of sexual assault, harassment, and substance use and abuse throughout their college career, and all students are required to complete this 30 minute online program.

I am concerned about privacy.  Will my responses be anonymous? 

Yes. The company that created and hosts the program states the following, “CampusClarity protects student privacy by removing identifying user information from the responses they provide, and then storing responses in a separate database from information relating to each users’ course activity. User responses are stored along with their demographic information and a unique token that has been processed by a one-way hashing algorithm. By hashing user tokens in this way, it is impossible when looking at the stored response data to identify the user who submitted any response. Only de-identified answer data is made available to university administrators or CampusClarity. CampusClarity also takes industry standard protection measures to prevent the disclosure of this de-identified data.”
