Reporting an Incident
If you or someone you know has experienced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation
based on a protected status (including age, disability, gender, gender identity, gender
expression, genetic information, marital status, medical condition, nationality, race
or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and veteran or military status), we encourage
you to file a report or contact the Office for Title IX and Equal Opportunity for

Make A Report
Introducing the Office for Title IX and Equal Opportunity
The Office for Title IX and Equal Opportunity combines two prior offices: the Title
IX and Gender Equity Office and the Office for Equal Opportunity. We created this
new office to simplify the reporting process by establishing one place for all reports
of protected status discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment, sexual
misconduct, dating and domestic violence, stalking, and related retaliation. The office
will offer support and resources for those who are impacted by protected status discrimination,
harassment, and related retaliation; disciplinary investigations involving any violation
of the CSU Nondiscrimination Policy; and trainings on the office’s services, as well
as the CSU's policies on discrimination, harassment, sex-based misconduct, and related
retaliation.

Title IX at SJSU
SJSU’s Statement of Nondiscrimination
The University is dedicated to the principles of equal opportunity and non-discrimination.
These principles permeate all facets of university life: in the admission, housing
and education of students; in policies and practices governing programs of extracurricular
life and activities; and in the employment of faculty, staff, and students. Discrimination
of any kind, including, but not limited to age, ancestry, color, creed, disability,
marital status, medical condition, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion, sex,
or sexual orientation, is an affront to the entire university community and is strictly
prohibited.
SJSU’s Title IX Statement of Nondiscrimination
SJSU is committed to maintaining an inclusive community that values diversity and
fosters tolerance and mutual respect. SJSU does not discriminate, and does not tolerate
discrimination, on the basis of sex or gender, which includes gender identity, gender
expression, sexual orientation or sex stereotype in its education programs or activities.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and certain other federal and state
laws, prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in employment, as well as in all
education programs and activities operated by the university (both on and off campus).
The protection against discrimination on the basis of gender or sexual orientation
includes sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and dating and domestic violence, and
stalking.

Please contact us if you want to discuss a problem or need to make a report relating
to discrimination on the basis of a legally protected status, harassment based on
