Faculty Guidelines for Responding to Student Disclosures of Sexual and Dating Violence

Current Title IX policies at CSULB require faculty to report forward all information about sexual or dating violence to the Title IX Coordinator. For more information on how to proceed with a student disclosure to faculty please visit: https://www.csulb.edu/protocol-of-engagement 

These guidelines were developed by Not Alone at the Beach and have been approved by the CSULB Title IX Office and the Chancellor’s Office General Counsel.

We have also created an interactive video that highlights faculty guidelines for responding to students:
