09:12:15 From Amanda Morton : If we took the Bystander training that Susan led last year – will that meet the requirement or will this be an additional training?
09:12:49 From Katy Human : Amanda, I’ll seek the answer from Susan ASAP
09:13:52 From Angela Knight : Hi Amanda, CIRES HR will be in touch about this new training being rolled out, which will be an updated Discrimination & Sexual Harrassment/ Effective Bystander training. It’s a result of updates to federal / state Title IX training. This will roll out sometime in August and we will notify CIRES employees of this; however, it’s an updated training required of all existing and incoming employees.
09:14:19 From Matthew Burgess : Thanks Waleed—in this polarized time, I think back channeling is a very effective means of approaching it. (One reason I didn’t sign any petitions)
09:18:08 From Katy Human : Assn of Public and Land-Grant Universities
09:19:39 From Matthew Burgess : CIRES also had several faculty offer to supervise in-person seminars for international students. Kudos to Max for coordinating that in ENVS

09:28:39 From Katie Boyd (she/her) : Comcast/Xfinity is ending a promotion they’ve had for unlimited internet and with working from home, my husband and I are going over our old data limit. I know CIRES has said they can help with internet on a case by case basis but is there any consideration of this possibly affecting more people and CIRES expanding the funding for work from home internet?
