• 菠菜网lol正规平台’s Statement of Nondiscrimination

  • The University is dedicated to the principles of equal opportunity and non-discrimination. These principles permeate all facets of university life: in the admission, housing and education of students; in policies and practices governing programs of extracurricular life and activities; and in the employment of faculty, staff, and students. Discrimination of any kind, including, but not limited to age, ancestry, color, creed, disability, marital status, medical condition, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation, is an affront to the entire university community and is strictly prohibited.

• 菠菜网lol正规平台's Title IX Statement of Nondiscrimination

  • 菠菜网lol正规平台 is committed to maintaining an inclusive community that values diversity and fosters tolerance and mutual respect. 菠菜网lol正规平台 does not discriminate, and does not tolerate discrimination, on the basis of sex or gender, which includes gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation or sex stereotype in its education programs or activities. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and certain other federal and state laws, prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in employment, as well as in all education programs and activities operated by the university (both on and off campus). The protection against discrimination on the basis of gender or sexual orientation includes sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and dating and domestic violence, and stalking.

The Nondiscrimination Policy (formally referred to as the CSU Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Retaliation).

Who To Contact with Questions About the Differences Between the Criminal Process and 菠菜网lol正规平台’s Internal Resolution Process

An individual may make a report to the university, to law enforcement, to neither, or to both. Campus processes and law enforcement investigations operate independently of one another, although the university may coordinate information with law enforcement.

The AVP for Title IX and Equal Opportunity is available to explain and discuss the university’s complaint process, including the investigation process; available resources, both on and off campus; and supportive measures, which could include accommodations related to academics, housing, or physical safety.

The Office for Title IX and Equal Opportunity directly supports these efforts by responding to new reports, answering questions, and administering the processes. You may also find information in the Nondiscrimination Policy.
