Not mandatory for faculty/staff, but was supposedly required for RAs and students living on campus. Notification went out to the campus community after the Virginia Tech shooting.

We recently had mandatory Sexual Misconduct training. They probably should have made the "Shots fired" video mandatory in the same way.
