When a report is made to our office, we either reach out to you (if you are reporting for yourself) or if you are reporting on behalf of someone else, we will reach out to that person and offer an optional meeting.

Our office supports the diverse needs of students who come through our office through interim support measures, which must be related to an ongoing Title IX matter:
- Mutual No-Contact Orders
- Housing assignment changes
- Academic accommodation requests
- And more, based on the needs of the individuals involved.
For Employees/Faculty/Staff
It is all our duty to create a safe and inclusive CSUCI community. One way we do this by upholding our Responsible Employee Duties.
-
Here is our suggested syllabus language regarding our office, as well as your role as a Responsible Employee:
All faculty and staff at the University are considered “Responsible Employees,” which means that if you tell me about a situation involving incidents of sexual misconduct, harassment, discrimination, protected class harassment, and or discrimination, I must report the matter to the Title IX & Inclusion Office. Although I am required to make that report, you are in control of whether or not you wish to pursue a formal complaint under one of the University’s grievance procedures outlined in the CSU Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking and Retaliation (Nondiscrimination Policy). Our goal is to ensure you are aware of the range of reporting options available to you and have access to the support and resources you need. For more information about your reporting options, support measures, and resources, please visit the Title IX & Inclusion Office website or review the Nondiscrimination Policy. If you wish to speak to someone confidentially (meaning not connecting with The Title IX & Inclusion Office), you can contact the following Confidential Resources.To report an incident directly, you can:
- Report online at www.csuci.edu/titleix
- Email the Title IX & Inclusion office at titleix@csuci.edu
-
Please contact our office if there are any resources that you cannot find here, and would like assistance connecting with.

A faculty or staff member is often the first person at the CSUCI a student will tell if they have experienced any discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault or sexual misconduct. As faculty and staff, we know you are committed to supporting our students to the best of your ability. The following resources and information can help you as you help our students.
-
Any employee who knows or has reason to know of incidents that may violate this Nondiscrimination Policy has a duty to promptly report to the Title IX Coordinator/Discrimination, Harassment, Retaliation ("DHR") Administrator, who are the campus officials designated to receive these reports. These Employees are known as Responsible Employees and are required to disclose all information available, including the names of the Parties involved, even where the person has requested anonymity.
-
Except as required by law (see below for exceptions), the following Employees generally do not have a duty to report to the Title IX Coordinator/DHR Administrator:
- Physicians; psychotherapists; professional licensed counselors; licensed clinical social workers, and clergy who work on or off campus, acting solely in those roles or capacities as part of their employment, in the provision of medical or mental health treatment or counseling (and those who act under their supervision, including all individuals who work or volunteer in these centers and offices).
- Sexual assault and domestic violence counselors and advocates who work or volunteer on or off campus in sexual assault centers, victim advocacy offices, women's centers, and health centers and who are acting solely in that role (including those who act in that role under their supervision, along with non-professional counselors or advocates who work or volunteer in sexual assault centers, victim advocacy offices, women's centers, gender equity centers, or health centers) in the provision of counseling or advocacy services.
- A CSU union representative is not required to report a possible violation of this Nondiscrimination Policy if the information is provided to the union representative, acting in that role, in a confidential setting by a union member seeking advice about a possible violation or representation in a matter within the scope of representation. However, CSU union representatives are strongly encouraged to report the information to the Title IX Coordinator/DHR Administrator.
EXCEPTIONS: Under California law, any health practitioner employed in a health facility, clinic, physician's office, or local or state public health department or clinic is required to make a report to local law enforcement if he or she provides medical services for a physical condition to a person who he or she knows or reasonably suspects is suffering from: (1) a wound or physical injury inflicted by a firearm; or (2) any wound or other physical injury where the injury is the result of assaultive or abusive conduct (including Rape, Sexual Assault, and Dating and Domestic Violence).1 This exception does not apply to sexual assault and domestic violence counselors and advocates. Health care practitioners should explain this limited exception, if applicable.
Additionally, under California law, all professionals described above (physicians, psychotherapists, professional counselors, clergy, and sexual assault and domestic violence counselors and advocates) are mandatory child abuse and neglect reporters and are required to report incidents involving victims under 18 years of age to local law enforcement.2 These professionals will explain this limited exception, if applicable.
Finally, some or all of these professionals may also have reporting obligations under California law to: (1) local law enforcement in cases involving threats of immediate or imminent harm to self or others where disclosure of the information is necessary to prevent the threatened danger;3 or (2) to the court if compelled by court order or subpoena in a criminal proceeding related to Sexual Misconduct, Dating or Domestic Violence, or Stalking.4 If applicable, these professionals will explain this limited exception.
-
- Listen to the person disclosing.
- Listen without judgment and offer support.
- Let them know you have to notify Title IX, but it is up to them to choose which options are best for them once the office reaches out.
- Remind them about your reporting duties, if possible.
- Disclose that you are a Responsible Employee with a reporting obligation, before they begin to go into detail, if possible.
- This is to provide as much autonomy as possible to the person affected.
- Ask them only safety questions.
- If you do need to ask questions, please only ask things pertaining to safety such as “are you safe at home” or “do you need medical attention”.
- Avoid any questions that imply fault.
- Make a report to the Title IX & Inclusion office.
- Please share all available details so we can offer resources to anyone affected.
- Making a report to our office online, by phone, or by e-mail fulfills your mandatory duties as a Responsible Employee.
- Listen to the person disclosing.
-
Anytime a disclosure is made during a personal discussion with you (before/after class, in your office hours, outside of class, when leading a trip, etc.) regarding potential sexual discrimination, harassment or sexual misconduct, you have an obligation to report. To report, all you need to do is contact the Title IX & Inclusion Office with the information that you know about the incident.
You never should act as an investigator to gain more information that what was shared with you. The Title IX & Inclusion Office will manage the follow-up with the individual through the Title IX process.
You are required to share all information that was shared with you when you report/connect to the Title IX & Inclusion Office including:
- Name(s) of individual involved
- Date and time (if available)
- Location of incident (if available)
- Description of what was shared
-
We support employees who have experienced a violation of the Nondiscrimination Policy as well as the campus community at large through implementing support measures, providing appropriate referrals, investigating concerns, and prevention education.
