Summary

Existing federal law, known as Title IX, prohibits a person, on the basis of sex, from being excluded from participation in, being denied the benefits of, or being subject to discrimination, which includes sexual harassment, under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The Donahoe Higher Education Act establishes the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, as one of the 3 segments of public postsecondary education in the state. A portion of the Donahoe Higher Education Act, known as the Equity in Higher Education Act, declares, among other things, that sexual harassment of students is a form of prohibited sex discrimination and requires each postsecondary educational institution in the state to have a written policy on sexual harassment. This bill would require the California State University, on or before December 1 of each year, to submit a report to the Legislature on the investigations and outcomes of sexual harassment reports and formal sexual harassment complaints, as provided, and would require the California State University to post these annual reports on its internet website. The bill would make legislative findings and declarations relating to these provisions.
