The following provides information on next steps, depending on the nature of the reporter.
I reported an incident myself
- If you're a Student: You’ll receive an outreach email within 2 working days offering supportive measures and the option to file a Formal Complaint.
- If you're an Employee: You’ll receive an outreach email within 2 working days offering supportive measures and the option to file a Formal Complaint. Human Resources and your supervisor will not be notified unless you request it or safety requires it.
- If you're a Third Party: We will still provide resources and may restrict campus access for the Respondent if needed.
I reported an incident on behalf of someone else
- You are a “third-party reporter.” We will reach out to the person who experienced harm (“Complainant”) and invite them to meet, you do not need to reach out to them except to notify them that know you filed a report. You will not receive any more information beyond our office confirming that we received your report. If you were also a witness to the reported incident, you may be contacted later to provide more details.
I did not report an incident, but I received an email from Title IX
- The Title IX and Inclusion office will send three requests to meet with you to discuss the allegations stated in the report, as it relates to prohibited conduct outlined under the CSU Nondiscrimination Policy, discuss your reporting choices (alternative resolution, formal complaint process), brainstorm support measures, and connect you with campus resources as needed. If we do not hear from you after the third outreach attempt, your report will undergo further review by the Title IX/DHR Coordinator.
- The university may provide supportive measures, such as housing changes, class adjustments, or work flexibility, even if a Formal Complaint is not filed, based on an assessment of your needs and available resources.
- Retaliation of any kind is strictly prohibited. If you feel you are being retaliated against by anyone due to your involvement in a process with our office, please report it immediately.
-
When we receive a report identifying a Complainant, we send an Outreach Letter (subject line: “Confidential Communication - (Your Initials”). The letter:
- States who we have received a report from, no graphic detail
- Requests a meeting with booking information
- Lists your rights (privacy, Advisor of choice, Supportive Measures)
- Includes Confidential Campus Resources, if you choose not to meet with Title IX and Inclusion
- Provides links to policies and procedures
- Explanation of University Response to Title IX/DHR Reports
- Retaliation Policy
You will receive a total of three requests to meet from the Title IX and Inclusion Office. If there is no response after three outreaches, the report will undergo further reveiw by the Title IX/DHR Coordinator.
