Community College Requires Completion of ‘Gender Violence’ Course Before Enrollment

Kirkwood Community College is requiring students to take an online course on “gender violence” and pass a test on it before they can register for their spring semester classes.

Those who do not complete the program will have a hold placed on their account that will block their ability to enroll in future courses until the program has been completed, the Iowa-based college states on its website, adding students must achieve a score of at least 75 percent to pass.

The “Not Anymore: Gender Violence Prevention Requirement” aims to create a “respectful, safe, and non-threatening environment for students, faculty and staff,” according to the college’s website.
