To strengthen its systems of care and compliance, in 2022 and 2023 the CSU system hired an independent law firm named Cozen O’Connor to conduct a systemwide assessment of Title IX and Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation (DHR) programs. The report identified core observations and recommendations for improvements at both the system and university levels. The CSU remains committed to making the meaningful and impactful changes needed to transform our Title IX and other anti-discrimination policies, procedures, infrastructure, culture and climate within the Chancellor’s Office and our 23 universities. The Cozen O’Connor evaluation identified key areas where CSU could improve, and highlighted the importance of strengthening CSU's commitment to creating a safer and more equitable environment for students and staff by ensuring rigorous enforcement of Title IX protections.
