Cozen O'Connor Report

In 2022 and 2023 the CSU engaged Cozen O’Connor’s Institutional Response Group to conduct a systemwide assessment of its Title IX and Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation (DHR) programs. This included interviews and campus visits, in addition to gathering feedback through surveys and a dedicated email. Their systemwide and university reports identify core observations and recommendations for improvements at both the system and university levels.
