Colleges can take a number of steps even when a student or employee doesn’t want to file a formal complaint, said S. Daniel Carter, president of SAFE Campuses LLC, which advises schools on Title IX compliance. The school’s Title IX coordinator can file the formal complaint. Third-party witnesses can provide statements.
The university is conducting a review of its retreat rights policy, trustees announced last month. In the meantime, offer letters to new job candidates will specify that anyone found to have engaged in significant misconduct is not eligible for the perk. Castro, himself, negotiated retreat rights as chancellor, picking Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s business school as the place where he wanted to teach. He hasn’t yet informed Cal State whether he intends to exercise those rights, said university spokesperson Mike Uhlenkamp.
First, the university has commissioned an external review of how administrators responded to reports of Title IX violations at Fresno State, scheduled to be completed by the end of July. It will be conducted by Los Angeles-based employment attorney Mary Lee Wegner, who also led the 2019 investigation that finally found Lamas responsible for sexual harassment and creating an abusive work environment.
