The Office of Equity & Compliance
Who We Are:
CSULB’s Office of Equity & Compliance (OEC) reviews allegations of Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation as it relates to protected status* as well as Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Harassment, Dating/Domestic Violence, and Stalking at CSULB. Equity & Compliance provides trainings to campus constituents, and manages related Federal and State legal compliance requirements for students, employees, and University third parties.
*Protected statuses includes: Age, Disability, Gender, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, Genetic Information, Marital Status, Medical Condition, Nationality, Race or Ethnicity, Religion, Sexual Orientation, and Veteran or Military Status
How to Report:
- OEC’s 24/7 Online Reporting Form: To request support regarding a sexual misconduct or discrimination, harassment, or retaliation matter, please click on the above, yellow “Report” button to access our 24/7 online reporting form.
- Report Forward: Please provide critical information so we might be able to provide helpful outreach to Parties and offer campus rights and resources. Information that will be helpful are: incident details, date & time (approximate), location, contact information for Parties effected, Witnesses, and any relevant documentations (if available - i.e. texts, emails, photos, etc.) Upon receipt of the form, the OEC Team will review this information within 1-2 business days and identify an OEC Manager who will follow up with effected Parties who may need resources.
- Anonymous Complaints: Please Note- Equity & Compliance practices sensitivity and privacy rights regarding student and employees’ information that aligns with CSU policies. Per CSU’s Nondiscrimination Policy, the University may have limited capability to take further or full action if key information is missing, unavailable, or if the Complaining Party requests anonymity and/or does not wish to move forward with a complaint. Equity & Compliance will make every good faith effort available to provide Parties with appropriate support, information, and reasonable action based on available information.
