Report a concern with the

Title IX & DHR Prevention Office

Anyone can file a report with our office, including CAT, a campus employee with a duty to report, a family member or friend who has a concern, and the survivor themself. Our office will reach out over email or phone to discuss a person's rights and options under the CSU Nondiscrimination Policy. Filing a report does not automatically initiate an investigation.
