Reporting Options

You have options.  

Students and employees have several reporting options on and off campus if they may have experienced or witnessed Sexual Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, Retaliation, or Discrimination or Harassment based on Age, Disability, Gender, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, Genetic Information, Marital Status, Medical Condition, Nationality, Pregnancy or related conditions, Race or Ethnicity (including color, caste, or ancestry), Religion or Religious Creed, Sex (including Sex Stereotyping or Sex Characteristics), Sexual Orientation, and Veteran or Military Status.

The Office for Civil Rights and Equity is here to help. Any person considering reporting an alleged violation of the CSU Nondiscrimination Policy should discuss any concerns about their safety or the safety of others with the Title IX Coordinator/DHR Administrator.

Our primary concern is the safety of our campus community members.  

The use of alcohol or drugs never makes a person at fault for experiencing sexual misconduct or violence. Students should not be deterred from reporting incidents of Sex-Based Harassment (including Sexual Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Sexual Exploitation, or Stalking) out of a concern that they might be disciplined for related violations of drug, alcohol, or other university policies. Any student who reports that they may have been impacted by alleged Sex-Based Harassment or any student serving as a witness in a complaint process (including an investigation or hearing) relating to Sex-Based Harassment that falls under the CSU Nondiscrimination Policy will not be disciplined for related violations of the Standards for Student Conduct that may have occurred at or near the time of the alleged incident, unless the university determines that the violation was egregious. This means that students reporting alleged sex-based harassment (including sexual misconduct) will not be subject to Student Conduct discipline for possible violations of alcohol or other drug provisions in the Standards for Student Conduct.

The CSU Nondiscrimination Policy prohibits Retaliation. If a student or employee is reluctant to report alleged violations of CSU policy because they fear Retaliation, they are encouraged to discuss their concerns with the Title IX Coordinator/DHR Administrator as soon as possible. The Office for Civil Rights and Equity will take steps to prevent and address alleged Retaliation promptly.

Individuals impacted by Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Assault, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, and Stalking have specific rights and options. These rights and options are outlined in Attachment D of the CSU Nondiscrimination Policy. Once a matter is reported to the Office for Civil Rights and Equity, individuals impacted by alleged Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Assault, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, and Stalking will receive a copy of Attachment D and an opportunity to discuss their rights and options during an Intake Meeting.
