A common perception across the CSU is that individual campus administrators choose to 'protect the interests of the institution instead of protecting individuals experiencing harm.'
The chancellor's office also lacks the legal staffing needed to address the volume of legal issues and complaints.
The system also lacks any mandate to require campuses to maintain or track this data but instead relies on Title IX/DHR staff at the campuses to self-report. The chancellor's office also doesn't have a clear sense of the number of complaints that have been formally investigated across the system. It calls for a shift in the chancellor's office "from the current consultative model to an active oversight model to introduce tiered accountability and ensure effective collaboration, leadership and advice." The report concludes that there is "much more the chancellor's office can and should do to assist the 23 universities in meeting the needs of their students, staff and faculty.
The report also detailed that Title IX/DHR staff regularly said they were unable to carry out their responsibilities and didn't have the capacity to respond to every report. This frustration from the staff led to burnout and high employee turnover. Of the 23 campuses, only Chico State, East Bay, Fullerton, Long Beach and Sacramento State have had longtime Title IX coordinators and staff.
This led to "significant delays in completing investigations, with many investigations spanning more than a year," according to the report. And those gaps only further eroded any trust complainants had in the system, the university, and administrators. This only increased barriers and created disengagement with the process.
"Because the CSU is not tracking data across campuses, an employee who engages in conduct of concern at one CSU university can often seek employment at another CSU without the new university being aware of the misconduct," according to the report.
