Commitment to Change
To strengthen its systems of care and compliance, in 2022 and 2023 the California State University engaged the Cozen O’Connor Institutional Response Group to conduct a systemwide assessment of its Title IX and Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation (DHR) programs.

- To bring forward the perspective of campus community stakeholders by giving input and making recommendations regarding the implementation process and its specific steps.
- To help facilitate and support the implementation of each university’s plan in a manner that is consistent with agreed-upon timelines, the goals of the assessment and campus culture.
- To drive informed and collaborative communications to all university stakeholders on implementation efforts.
