Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
What is Title IX?
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and certain other federal and state laws, prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender or sexual orientation 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 gender based dating and domestic violence and stalking.
Statement of Nondiscrimination
All university programs and activities are open and available to all regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin. Consistent with California law and federal civil rights laws, CSU Channel Islands provides equal opportunity in education and employment without unlawful discrimination or preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. Our commitment to equal opportunity means ensuring that every student and employee has access to the resources and support they need to thrive and succeed in a university environment and in their communities. CSU Channel Islands complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the California Equity in Higher Education Act, California’s Proposition 209 (Art. I, Section 31 of the California Constitution), other applicable state and federal anti-discrimination laws, and CSU’s Nondiscrimination Policy. We prohibit discriminatory preferential treatment, segregation based on race or any other protected status, and all forms of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in all university programs, policies, and practices. CSU Channel Islands is a diverse community of individuals who represent many perspectives, beliefs and identities, committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and intellectually vibrant environment. We cultivate a culture of open dialogue, mutual respect, and belonging to support educational excellence and student success. Through academic programs, student organizations and activities, faculty initiatives, and community partnerships, we encourage meaningful engagement with diverse perspectives.

At CSU Channel Islands, excellence is built on merit, talent, diversity, accessibility, and equal opportunity for all.

Campus Partnerships and Initiatives
Title IX and Inclusion is not an island, and operates within a diverse network of partnerships that span across campus. Depending on the needs of any individual case, the office provides support to and consults with other departments and programs, including but not limited to: Employee Relations; Faculty Affairs; Student Conduct; Disability Accommodation and Support Services; Counseling and Psychological Services; and the CARE Team. Furthermore, as Title IX Coordinator and DHR Administrator, the Executive Director is a member of CSUCI ’s Behavioral Intervention Team, an interdisciplinary team of experts which meets regularly to assess prospective threats on campus and sensitive cases.
Through these partnerships and initiatives, Title IX and Inclusion promotes compliance throughout the campus, while striving to build a community of care, focused around belonging and access.
