ICYMI: Castro’s ouster has focused attention on Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in schools.
say that colleges must respond to allegations of sexual harassment when a campus official who “has authority to institute corrective measures” has “actual knowledge” that harassment may have taken place. That knowledge, the rules say, could come via “an oral report of sexual harassment by a complainant or anyone else, a written report, through personal observation, through a newspaper article, through an anonymous report, or through various other means.
If there are widespread reports of harassment in a particular department, he said, the college can hold a training for the whole department with the goal of “sending a very clear message…that the institution does not tolerate discrimination and that complainants will be supported and protected from retaliation.”
It’s rare for administrators in a non-academic position like Lamas to have retreat rights, said John Pelissero, a senior scholar in government ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University — especially if, like Lamas, they weren’t part of the university’s faculty before. Trustees have also temporarily suspended new admissions to Cal State’s executive transition program, which allows former administrators to spend a year preparing for a new job with the university. Under that program, Castro will earn about $400,000 to spend a year as an advisor to the board of trustees.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.
