Reporting an Incident

If you or someone you know has experienced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation based on a protected status (including age, disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, marital status, medical condition, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and veteran or military status), we encourage you to file a report or contact the Office for Title IX and Equal Opportunity for resources and assistance. Sex-based discrimination and harassment includes sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual exploitation, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and pregnancy and parenting discrimination.

Introducing the Office for Title IX and Equal Opportunity

The Office for Title IX and Equal Opportunity combines two prior offices: the Title IX and Gender Equity Office and the Office for Equal Opportunity. We created this new office to simplify the reporting process by establishing one place for all reports of protected status discrimination and harassment, including sex-based harassment, sexual misconduct, dating and domestic violence, stalking, and related retaliation. The office will offer support and resources for those who are impacted by protected status discrimination, harassment, and related retaliation; disciplinary investigations involving any violation of the CSU Nondiscrimination Policy; and trainings on the office’s services, as well as the CSU's policies on discrimination, harassment, sex-based misconduct, and related retaliation.

There is an important distinction between a “report and a “complaint.” A report is any information received by the then-Title IX Office about suspected Title IX misconduct, and can be made by anyone who is aware of that information. A report could come from the person who experienced the harm, a concerned community member, or a Responsible Employee. A complaint is an official request for an investigation and may only be made by the person who experienced the harm, or the university. A complaint results in an investigation where the facts, taken as true, establish a possible violation of the CSU Nondiscrimination Policy. Because we generally only initiate an investigation upon request, the number of reports reflected in the data is greater than the number of investigations opened by the Title IX Office.
