The University of Delaware community will once again be engaging in online sexual misconduct policy and response training, provided by UD partner Everfi, and overseen by the Office of Equity & Inclusion. This introductory and ongoing training is part of the university’s commitment to provide all faculty, staff, and students with timely and relevant information and resources related to the university’s sexual misconduct policy, and sexual harassment and discrimination more broadly. All faculty, staff, and students receive a separate invitation directly from Everfi with instructions for access and completion.
All training invitations will be sent via email and will come directly from Everfi (“University of Delaware <automated-message@everfi.net”), who is your vendor for this training and this email can be trusted.
You may choose to login directly to your training dashboard at www.udel.edu/006145.
All first-year undergraduate and graduate students complete the course entitled “Sexual Assault Prevention”. All new university employees complete the course entitled “Bridges: Building a Supportive Community”. Current university employees will complete the course “Bridges: Taking Action” during the Fall 2019 term as part of a biannual training requirement instituted with the passage of Delaware H.B. 360.
Questions about this online education opportunity can be directed to knowmore@udel.edu.

OEI’s ongoing book club returns this fall with a powerful and timely collection of essays addressing a wide array of multicultural feminist topics! We will be reading Roxane Gay’s New York Times Bestseller “Bad Feminist” and engaging in a timely discussion about a variety of issues along the way. In the era of #metoo, voices are no longer silent, stories are being told, and challenging conversations are no longer being avoided. This deeply personal, profoundly influential, and easily accessible collection of essays touches on everything from pop culture to politics. Along the way, Gay breaks down barriers and allows us to engage in the dialogue we so clearly need to be having today!

Fatimah Stone, assistant general counsel at the University of Delaware, has been appointed interim director of the University’s Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI), Alan Brangman, executive vice president and University treasurer, announced today. Her appointment was effective April 27.
Stone, who previously served as senior associate director of OEI, is filling in for Sue Groff, who is currently on leave.
Fatimah Stone is serving as interim director of the Office of Equity and Inclusion.
“I am grateful to Fatimah Stone for taking on this interim assignment with our Office of Equity and Inclusion,” Alan Brangman, executive vice president and University treasurer. “Her extensive knowledge of the University and of the work of OEI, coupled with her experience in higher education human resources, will serve the University well. I look forward to working with her as she takes on this important task.”
During this assignment, Stone will continue to serve as the senior legal counsel for NIIMBL (the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals), a Manufacturing USA institute headquartered at UD and funded by the federal government to advance United States competitiveness in advanced manufacturing innovation.
Stone joined UD in 2015 as senior associate director of the Office of Equity and Inclusion. Before coming to Delaware, she served as a human resources consultant at the University of Notre Dame, where she was responsible for conducting staff investigations in response to employees’ discrimination and sexual harassment complaints filed with that university’s Office of Institutional Equity. Earlier, she was a transactional attorney in New Orleans, Louisiana.
A member of the Louisiana State Bar Association, the National Association of College and University Attorneys and the Association of Corporate Counsel, Stone earned her undergraduate degree at Fairleigh-Dickinson University and a law degree from Tulane Law School.
