ETHICS TRAINING FOR STATE EMPLOYEES

On behalf of Chancellor Louise Pagotto you are invited to attend:

HAWAI‘I STATE ETHICS COMMISSION

ETHICS FOR STATE EMPLOYEES 

 

This is a general introduction to the State Ethics Code, Chapter 84, Hawai‘i Revised Statutes.  This course will provide basic information about the ethics laws that apply to state employees at all levels.  Topics will include the following:

 

Conflicts of interests:  What is a “conflict of interest” and what must an employee do if he or she has a conflict of interest?  How do the conflict-of–interest laws affect state employees who also have private jobs or ties to private businesses?

 

Gifts and the reporting of gifts:  Are state employees allowed to accept gifts?  Are meals and travel considered “gifts” under the ethics laws?  What is a gifts disclosure statement and when must an employee file a gifts disclosure statement with the State Ethics Commission?

 

Misuse of official position:  What actions by state employees are considered to be a misuse of government office?  Can employees accept speakers’ fees, honoraria, or other payments for performing their state duties?  Are there ethics restrictions on the use of state resources, such as state computers, email, and personnel?  Can employees engage in fund raising in state offices?

 

This course also will provide information about how the State Ethics Commission administers and enforces the State Ethics Code.  This will include a discussion of how employees can request ethics advice; how ethics complaints are handled; and the penalties for violating the State Ethics Code.

This is a mandatory training session for all administrators and for all supervisors of student assistants, civil service employees, APTs, or Faculty.

This Week’s FREE Webinars: Transgender Rights, Title IX, Behavioral Intervention and More…

2-Part Webinar Series: Transgender Rights & Title IX on Thursday, August 30, 7 am – 8:30 am HST.

Research (Cantor, 2015; Garvey & Rankin, 2015; James, 2016) finds that trans students report more hostile campus environments than other students. The revocation of the Dear Colleague Letter in support of trans students’ rights under Title IX and efforts by states to pass laws requiring people to use the public restrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate have made trans students feel even more marginalized and isolated. This webinar will provide specific strategies that student affairs professionals can use to create supportive campus environments for trans students. Topics covered will include sexual harassment, misgendering and misnaming, single-sex activities, and access to housing, restrooms, shower facilities, and locker rooms.

Title IX & Transgender Students: How Student Affairs Professionals Can Stay Compliant on Thursday, August 30, 7 am – 8:30 am HST.

Research (Cantor, 2015; Garvey & Rankin, 2015; James, 2016) finds that trans students report more hostile campus environments than other students. The revocation of the Dear Colleague Letter in support of trans students’ rights under Title IX and efforts by states to pass laws requiring people to use the public restrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate have made trans students feel even more marginalized and isolated.

2-Part Webinar Series: Case Management & Behavioral Intervention on Thursday, August 30, 9 am – 10:00 am HST.

The University of South Florida case management office conducted a data review of their referral data over the lifespan of the case management department, focusing specifically on the academic years 2014-2015 through 2016-2017. After reviewing case management and BIT referral data over this timespan, it was determined that the overall number of referrals for case management services (633) was too low for the USF campus population (41,000). Additionally, further review of the referral data demonstrated that 20% of the referrals were for “high” levels of concern and the most common reason for a referral was a mental health issue(s), meaning that by the time the referral was made a mental health crisis was already evident and documented. This approach to receiving referrals made it difficult for the case management office to employ effective interventions and meant that more staff time was spent establishing safety for students rather than engaging in preventative care. To address this issue, the USF case management office developed a training which would teach faculty and staff how to identify, support and refer a student of concern with an emphasis on engaging in early intervention and increasing referrals. Referral data post-training implementation indicates that referral groups that received a training demonstrated an average 355% increase over academic years 14-15 to 16-17 while those who did not receive the training demonstrated an average 110% increase over the same time span. Additionally, the referral data demonstrated a shift toward early intervention as the number of referrals for “high” levels of concern decreased, and referrals for adjustment issues, interpersonal concerns, and general well-being increased.

Using Case Management Data To Inform Practice & Develop Campus Trainings For Behavioral Intervention on Thursday, August 30, 9 am – 10:00 am HST.

During this program session, presenters will discuss the analysis of the referral data as well as provide an overview of the referral process at USF. This discussion will include an overview of how USF assesses the level of concern and identifies areas of concern. Presenters will identify the data points that indicated the need for a programmatic change and will review the training plan developed as a result of the data. Furthermore, the presentation will provide the participants with an in-depth look at the training program developed so that they may be able to develop and implement a training program on their campus. Finally, the presentation will review the data which demonstrates the impact the training program had on the case management program referrals and the implications this data has for practice and policy.
