The Office responds to reports, concerns, and inquiries about harassment, discrimination, and sexual harassment, which includes sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Students, employees, program participants, and visitors can access supportive measures regardless of where the misconduct took place or of whether a formal complaint is signed.
The Title IX and Equal Opportunity (āEOā) Coordinator remains knowledgeable about civil rights legislation and completes annual Title IX/EO training. The Title IX/EO Coordinator works closely with the Division of Student Affairs, the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) and the University Police Department (UPD), and plays an integral role in carrying out the University's commitment to positive learning, living, and working environments for the SDSU community.
Federal regulations require the University to take immediate action to eliminate sexual harassment, prevent its recurrence and address its effects. Universities are also required to adopt and publish grievance procedures for constituents who complain of sex or gender discrimination. SDSU's procedures and policies can be found online.
Title IX/EO investigations are separate from law enforcement investigations, even when a police report is filed. The University is required to conduct an independent investigation that is prompt, thorough, and impartial.
If you experience, witness, or are notified about harassment, discrimination, or sexual harassment, contact the Title IX/EO Coordinator immediately. Alleged conduct may also be reported to any SDSU employee, as all University employees are officials with authority to act and mandatory reporters to the Office of Title IX/EO.

Important Update - The United States Department of Education released the Title IX Final Rule on April 19, 2024, with new regulations scheduled to go into effect on August 1, 2024. However, recent litigation related to such regulations have established injunctions against SDSU from adopting the new regulations. Thus, until otherwise directed, SDSU will continue abiding by the 2020 Title IX regulations.
