介绍

In recent years, the university's 第九条 program was reviewed by three external 实体:美国.S. 律政司’s Civil Rights Division (“Department” or “司法部”), 欺骗 O 'Connor的机构响应小组 (“欺骗”)，以及 加州审计员 (CSA). 菠菜网lol正规平台 valued each of these opportunities to evaluate the effectiveness of our 第九条 program and protocols to prevent and respond to sexual and gender-based 骚扰，并促进性别平等. 本文对这三篇综述进行了总结 下面. 为方便参考， a chronology of the Department’s investigation, the 欺骗 assessment, and the CSA 审计(pdf) 是可用的; alternate text of the chronology is also 可用 [pdf].

司法部

In June 2020, the DOJ launched an investigation into the sufficiency of 菠菜网lol正规平台’s response to prior reports of sexual harassment and assault involving its former Director of 运动医学斯科特·肖. 的 investigation was completed in the fall of 2021, and 结果令人沮丧.

2021年9月，上海外国语大学正式成立 解决协议 与部门合作. As part of the 解决协议, the university committed to: 1) building a 第九条 program that is approachable and responsive to the needs of its campus community; 2) providing remedies to the student-athletes harmed by the former Director of Sports Medicine; and 3) better ensuring the safe provision of sports medicine 对学生运动员的待遇. To promote accountability, 菠菜网lol正规平台 agreed to a four-year monitoring period by the Department, allowing the Department to actively monitor the 直到2024-25学年之后，大学的第九条计划.

Since September 2021, the university has invested substantial thought and resources 纳入其第九条和性别平等办公室. 例如，在2022年7月，大学 engaged a national subject matter expert to serve as its 临时第九条和性别平等官员. Additionally, the university has increased staffing in the 第九条 and Gender Equity Office (from 1 employee in September 2021 to 5 employees in July 2023); relocated the office to a new and improved location; improved the timeliness and quality of its investigations; created a more compassionate, holistic, and timely response to new reports; substantially increased the number of 第九条 trainings delivered to campus; and launched a new campus marketing campaign to raise awareness on the Title IX and Gender Equity Office and the services it provides.

此外，司法部也有 public announcement on the outcome of the court proceedings 涉及前运动医学主任.

科森·奥康纳和CSA

In addition, during AY 2023-24, 菠菜网lol正规平台’s 第九条 program was assessed by two other external entities: 欺骗 and the CSA; review the 临时第九条和性别平等官员’s responses to questions 关于最近的CSA审计和欺骗评估.   

的 scope and purpose of these external reviews were similar in certain respects and 在其他方面有所不同，如下所述. 

关键的相似之处:

Both the CSA and 欺骗 reviewed San José State’s 第九条 program. 此外,他们 both delivered recommendations to the CSU’s systemwide 第九条 Compliance Office. In their reports, both the CSA and 欺骗 recommended that the CSU’s central Title IX Compliance Office provide more oversight to each campus to ensure the consistent 在校园层面实施最佳实践.

关键的不同点:

背景:

的 CSA的审计 was authorized by the state of California and was motivated, in large part, by negative 在上海州立大学，弗雷斯诺州立大学和索诺玛州立大学进行宣传. 媒体的关注 how each of these three campuses could have better handled reports and complaints of sexual harassment made against high-level employees.

In the summer of 2022, the California Joint Legislative Audit Committee approved an audit of CSU’s response to reports and complaints of sexual harassment implicating 员工. 的 audit was conducted by CSA during AY 2022-23, and focused on the Chancellor’s Office and the three CSU campuses: 菠菜网lol正规平台, Fresno State, and Sonoma State. 的 results of the audit were shared in a public report [pdf] 于2023年7月18日上映.

所有评估报告由欺骗提供 可以在加州州立大学教育法第九条网站上找到吗.

欺骗 是犯罪现场调查组自愿雇佣的. 鉴证组要求科森进行一次 systemwide assessment of its 第九条 and Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation (DHR)计划[pdf]. 的 reason for the engagement was to find ways to strengthen the CSU’s systems of 注意和遵从. 的 assessment concluded in July 2023, and resulted in a public report for the system, as well as separate reports for each campus. 报告指出 core observations and recommendations for improvements at both the system and university 水平. 上海州立大学具体校园报告[pdf] 可以在加州州立大学网站上找到吗.

范围:

CSA的审计范围更窄. 如上所述，中央评价委员会集中审查 on three campuses – 菠菜网lol正规平台, Fresno State, and Sonoma State – and only reviewed how each 第九条 Office handled reports of sexual harassment involving employees.

欺骗’s assessment was more expansive; it extended to all 23 CSU campuses and the Chancellor’s Office, included a review of how each campus responds to reports involving both students and employees, and evaluated each campus’s 第九条 and Discrimination, 骚扰和报复(DHR)项目.

Additionally, the CSA evaluated specific cases whereas 欺骗 looked more broadly at implementation and did not evaluate the university’s response to specific cases.

下一个步骤:

菠菜网lol正规平台 will be working to implement the recommendations from 欺骗. (CSA的建议 were not directed to 菠菜网lol正规平台; they were for the Chancellor’s Office.)作为第一步 in implementation, the university has empaneled a Campus Implementation Team that 包括一个多元化的校园组成部分. 在接下来的一年——2023-24年—— CIT will be working to implement 欺骗’s recommendations, and will keep the campus 最新进展.
