Strengthening Our Title IX Infrastructure

In 2022-2023, the California State University system commissioned Cozen O’Connor to conduct a Title IX and Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation (DHR) assessment of the system and of individual universities. 

The final assessment included a series of recommendations – both at the system and individual campus levels – as a pathway to move us forward to a stronger and more vital future. 

Ensuring the most inclusive and welcoming student, staff and faculty experience has always been at the heart of the CSUMB mission.

This is why President Vanya Quiñones and the entire campus community are embracing this opportunity to take the CSUMB experience to even greater heights.
