²©88ÑÇÖÞ

The  is the CSU policy that incorporates the University’s compliance with Title IX and California state law. The Nondiscrimination Policy includes, but is not limited to, the prohibition of discrimination based on sex (including Sex Stereotyping or Sex Characteristics), gender, gender identity and expression, pregnancy or related conditions, and sexual orientation. 

The above policy applies to reports or complaints involving alleged conduct that occurred on or after August 1, 2024.

Related to this policy there are sets of procedures for handling formal complaints that fall within the scope of the Nondiscrimination Policy.

The procedures are as follows:

2.  (effective March 4, 2025)

The procedures set forth in the Nondiscrimination Policy are administrative in nature and are separate and distinct from the criminal and civil legal systems. Pursuing resolution through these procedures does not preclude someone from pursuing legal action now or in the future (noting that statute of limitations may exist for both civil and criminal causes of action). The University’s administrative procedures and the legal system work independently from one another. An individual who reports conduct that may constitute a policy violation and/or a crime may opt to pursue none, one, or some combination of the following processes: the University’s administrative process, making a criminal complaint, and/or making a civil complaint.
