California State University, East Bay is committed to creating and maintaining an educational, working, and living environment free from all forms of harassment and sexual misconduct. The University’s policies prohibit such harassment and misconduct and apply to all members of the University community.
The procedures are provided here for required notification and reporting to sponsoring federal agencies.
At present, this procedure addresses NIH, NSF, and USDA NIFA reporting only. However, the University may have other legal or contractual obligations to report harassment or sexual misconduct to third parties, e.g., to other government agencies or sponsors in connection with specific awards or collaborations, and will act in accordance with those obligations. Also, the University anticipates that additional funding agencies or organizations may adopt similar comprehensive notification requirements. The University may update this procedure as necessary to address such additional notification requirements.Academic Accommodations
The University is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the victim. A student who has been a victim of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation including sexual misconduct may request an academic accommodation or change in residence after a report of sexual misconduct. Any individual who makes a request will receive an appropriate and reasonable accommodation. Possible requests include the ability to change academic schedules or work schedules, withdraw from or retake a class without penalty, access academic support such as tutoring services, and change residence hall assignments. Pursuant to Title IX, in most cases of sexual violence or sex discrimination, the University will endeavor, to the extent practicable, to change the schedule or accommodations of the accused student prior to changing the schedule or accommodations of the victim.
Interim Measures
In situations where it is necessary, the University will take immediate steps to protect victims pending the final outcome of an investigation. These steps include the accommodations listed above in addition to issuing no contact orders. Pending resolution of the complaint, the accused may be prohibited from contacting the victim and may be placed on suspension or denied access to campus. The University may also change the course schedule for the accused for disciplinary procedures related to acts of sexual misconduct.
