Channel Islands History

Located only minutes from the Pacific Ocean at the northern end of the Santa Monica Mountains, 华体会 is truly breathtaking. The entrance to the campus winds alongside lush agricultural fields, orchards, and picturesque foothills. Equally compelling is the campus architecture. Built in the early part of the twentieth century, the sprawling 1930鈥檚 Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival buildings house a state-of-the-art, 21st century university.

Planning for a public, four-year university began in 1965 when State Senator Robert J. Lagomarsino co-authored Senate Bill 288 with Assemblyman Burt Hansen, calling for establishment of a four year college in Ventura County. Later that year, Governor Pat Brown signed a bill authorizing a study for a state college in Ventura County. In 1974, Dr. Joyce Kennedy established in Ventura the UC/CSU Ventura Learning Center and went on to serve as director of the CSUN Ventura Campus for more than 15 years.

In 1996, J. Handel Evans began as Planning President charged with beginning development of a public, four-year university in the region. In September 1997, on the recommendation of the chancellor and a community task force appointed by the Governor, the CSU Board of Trustees voted unanimously to accept the former Camarillo State Hospital site for the purpose of transforming it into the CSU鈥檚 23rd campus. In July 1996, the CSU Board of Trustees formally adopted the name 华体会 for the new University. In September 1997, Governor Wilson signed into law S.B. 623 (O鈥機onnell) providing for the financing and support of the transition of the site for use as a university campus. Shortly thereafter, the state legislature and the CSU Board of Trustees provided funds to begin the conversion of the facility from a state hospital into a college campus. In 1999, the Ventura Campus moved to the Channel Islands campus and began a four-year phase out of its academic programs.

The CSU Board of Trustees appointed Richard R. Rush Founding President of 华体会 and he assumed his duties in June 2001. Dr. Rush鈥檚 formal inauguration was held in April 2002. During the course of establishing the initial structures of the University, Dr. Rush has overseen and been directly involved in the hiring of faculty and the University鈥檚 senior staff. In addition, he has directed the development of the University鈥檚 strategic, academic and physical master plans, infrastructure and road improvements, the acquisition of adjacent land, as well as successfully leading the University鈥檚 efforts to achieve initial accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

The formal opening of CSU Channel Islands was held on August 16, 2002. The public ceremony included participation by Governor Gray Davis, as well as educational and community leaders from throughout the state. Classes began on August 24 with approximately 1,320 full-time transfer students enrolled for the first year. The first freshmen class arrived in fall 2003. At full capacity, CSU Channel Islands will serve more than 15,000 full-time equivalent students.

To accommodate the rapidly growing numbers of students, in 2004 the University completed the first phase of student housing, Anacapa Village, which provides on campus housing for 350 students. Phase two housing, Santa Cruz Village, opened in August 2007 and provides space for an additional 460 students.

The physical campus continues to grow at a steady pace to keep up with student and academic needs. The first major University construction project on the campus was the Science Building completed in 2003. This structure provides much needed lab and auditorium space for students. The prestigious John Spoor Broome Library designed by world-renowned architect, Foster + Partners, opened in spring 2008 and provides a state-of-the-art teaching and learning library for students, faculty, staff, and the community.

CSU Channel Islands is a student-centered University, committed to academic excellence, civic engagement, environmental responsibility, and leadership for the 21st century.

University Colors

The school colors of CSU Channel Islands are red and silver. The red is consistent with the tradition of the region, including the lush fields of strawberries that are a part of the diverse agricultural region, and the silver is for the dolphin, the University mascot.

University Mascot

A petition was presented to CSU Channel Islands by local Chumash leaders that the dolphin be the University鈥檚 official mascot. The sacred story of why the Chumash cherish the dolphin is contained in 鈥淭he Rainbow Bridge鈥� legend. Simultaneously, the founding student leadership of CSUN--CI petitioned to have the dolphin as CSU Channel Islands鈥� mascot. The request was warmly received by the students, faculty, and staff.

"The Rainbow Bridge"听 A Chumash Legend

The first Chumash people were created on Santa Cruz Island. They were made from seeds of a magic plant by the Earth Goddess, whose name was Hutash. Hutash was married to the Sky Snake (the Milky Way). He could make lightning bolts with his tongue. One day, he decided to make a gift to the Chumash people. He sent down a bolt of lightning, and this started a fire. After this, people kept fires burning so that they could keep warm, and so that they could cook their food.

In those days, the condor was a white bird. But the condor was very curious about the fire he saw burning in the Chumash village. He wanted to find out what it was. So he flew very low over the fire to get a better look. But he flew too close; he got his feathers scorched and they turned black. So now the condor is a black bird, with just a little white left under the wings where they didn鈥檛 get burned.

After Sky Snake gave them fire, the Chumash people lived more comfortably. More people were born each year, and their villages got bigger and bigger. Santa Cruz Island was getting crowded. And the noise the people made was starting to annoy Hutash. It kept her awake at night. So, finally, she decided that some of the Chumash would have to move off the island. They would have to go to the mainland, which was less populated. But how were the people going to get across the water to the mainland? Finally, Hutash had the idea of making a bridge out of a rainbow. She made a very long, very high rainbow, which stretched from the tallest peak on Santa Cruz Island all the way to the tall mountains near Carpinteria.

Hutash told the people to go across the Rainbow Bridge and fill the whole world with people. So the Chumash people started to go across the bridge. Some of them got across safely, but some of them made the mistake of looking down. It was a long way down to the water, and the fog was swirling around. They got so dizzy that some of them fell off the Rainbow Bridge, down, down, through the fog, into the ocean. Hutash felt very badly about this, because she had told them to cross the bridge. She didn鈥檛 want them to drown. Instead, she turned them into dolphins. So the Chumash have always said that dolphins were their brothers and sisters.

SAFE On Campus

SAFE (Students, Administrators and Faculty for Equality) is a program sponsored by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) subcommittee of the Commission on Human Relations, Diversity and Equity.

Mission: The SAFE On Campus program seeks to reduce homophobia and heterosexism at CSU Channel Islands. Through education, advocacy, and promoting awareness, the program contributes to building a campus climate that is safe and accepting of all members of the University community.

Purpose: SAFE On Campus provides an avenue through which all members of the campus community can actively show their support of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. SAFE On Campus members identify themselves by displaying the SAFE On Campus sign at their office. Members attend an orientation session, following which they receive the SAFE On Campus logo. By displaying the logo, members signal to students and employees that they can be 鈥渙ut鈥� or reveal their sexual orientation or gender identity. In addition, members can serve as a valuable source to help locate resources on campus, or help report harassment or discrimination.

Definition of an Ally: Someone who, regardless of their gender identity and/or sexual orientation, is supportive of LGBT people and who wants to foster a campus climate that is safe for everyone.

For additional information regarding SAFE ON CAMPUS, please contact Human Resources Programs 805-437-8490.

Police Department

CSU Channel Islands enjoys the benefits associated with living in a rural area outside of heavily populated areas. The campus is located within one of the safest areas in the western United States.

The CSU Channel Islands Police Department is responsible for providing law enforcement services for the campus. Police officers are the only campus officials designated to receive crime reports. The Police Department is located on University Drive, one block from the campus entrance, adjacent to Lot A1. The Police Department is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The department encourages prompt reporting of all crimes, potential criminal actions, and other emergencies on campus, either in person or by calling 911 or from any telephone. For non-emergencies please call 805-437-8444.

CSU Channel Islands police officers are commissioned, sworn peace officers with full enforcement authority throughout the state. Officers are responsible for reporting and investigating crimes and traffic accidents, responding to medical emergencies, enforcing laws and local ordinances, and all other incidents requiring police assistance. Criminal cases are forwarded to the Ventura County District Attorney鈥檚 Office for prosecution. Police officers provide 24-hour patrol of the campus and surrounding neighborhood on foot, in vehicles, and on bicycles. Most police officers are also certified emergency medical technicians (EMT-1) and are the first responders to all medical emergencies.

Safe Campus Management

The CSU Channel Islands Police Department strives to support the mission of the University by creating an atmosphere that encourages learning and safety.

The Police Department takes a proactive approach to safety that includes four interactive elements: prevention, intervention, education, and enforcement. All of these elements require collaboration with the key components of our campus community: students, faculty, staff, and visitors. While the Police Department takes pride in its leadership role, safety is everyone鈥檚 concern.

The department takes steps to notify the campus community of potential criminal activity through a variety of methods. These include crime alert bulletins, the department鈥檚 Web page, e-mail, voicemail, the campus newspaper, and local television and radio stations. The department encourages faculty, staff, students, and visitors to take responsibility for their own safety by taking proactive steps to reduce the likelihood of crime on campus. Crime prevention literature is available in the University Police Department lobby and via the department鈥檚 Web page ( www.csuci.edu/police/index.htm ). The department鈥檚 crime prevention program offers numerous programs and workshops that are open to students, faculty, and staff.

Some of the programs available include:

• Rape Aggression Defense (RAD)
• Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention
• Alcohol/Drug Awareness/Anti-Drunk Driving Workshops
• Personal Safety Awareness

Department members work closely with other departments on campus such as Housing and Residential Education, Student Health Services, and Counseling & Psychological Services in a teamwork approach to educating the campus community on such issues as alcohol and drug abuse, drinking and driving, sexual assault, and domestic violence.

Individual Responsibility

Every student, faculty, or staff member must bear an appropriate amount of individual responsibility for their own safety and security as well as that of their fellow students, faculty, or staff. To this end, please observe the following guidelines.

• Report all crimes immediately. Prompt reporting may assist in apprehension and the prevention of future crimes. Call 911.
• Report all suspicious persons and circumstances. This may prevent a crime from occurring. Call 911.
• Please keep all wallets, checkbooks, credit cards, and cash on your person and out of sight. Ideally, backpacks should be within your view at all times.
• Do not leave items such as a laptop computer, cell phone, or wallet/purse visible in a car.
• Do not prop open or try to defeat the security features of any exterior door. If you find such a door propped open, please close it. If it will not lock, please notify any staff member or call the Police Department at ext. 8444.
• Adequately secure any property left outside, such as bicycles.
• If you must walk across campus late at night, consider going with a friend or two. The campus is very safe, but that does not mean crimes will never occur here. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security because of the peaceful surroundings.

Identifying Yourself to Campus Officials

When requested, you are required to properly identify yourself to any campus official, including police officers. Failure or refusal to do so may result in disciplinary action.

Crime Reporting

Immediately call the Police Department at 911 to report a crime on campus. Special crime alerts are prepared and distributed campuswide via e-mail in circumstances involving violence and/or the safety of others. The Police Department maintains a daily activity log, which can be viewed at the Police Department dispatch center. The Police Department also prepares an annual security report for distribution. This information is available to students, parents, and employees through the Division of Student Affairs. This information is also available on the Police Department Web site.

Important Telephone Numbers

Rape and Sexual Violence

As a proactive approach to preventing rape and sexual violence, the CSU Channel Islands Police Department offers educational and informational programs throughout the year to decrease the likelihood of assault occurring on campus or to our students.

The CSU Channel Islands Police Department takes every reported case of rape, attempted rape, or other forms of sexual violence very seriously. If you are a victim of sexual violence, call the Police Department immediately. If the assault occurred off campus, the Police Department will assist you in contacting the appropriate police department and the victim鈥檚 services unit, which provides resources for counseling and medical assistance. The CSU Channel Islands Police Department shall consider the victim鈥檚 position and preferences throughout these investigations.

In the occurrence of an assault, the Dean of Student Life will be contacted. Assistance will be provided with contacting professionals, family, or friends. The Dean will also make or assist in making any changes in the victim鈥檚 academic and living situations after an alleged sex offense, if available. The Dean of Student Life will also coordinate any campus disciplinary process.

Harassment

The University takes any type of harassment complaint very seriously. Harassment is conduct that is reasonably perceived as:

• interfering with an individual's work performance, educational activities, or programs; and
• adversely affecting an individual's employment opportunity, educational activities, or programs.

If you have questions about a particular area, please contact the Police Department.

Off-Campus Safety

The University鈥檚 concern for its students does not end at the edge of campus. Although CSU Channel Islands police officers do not respond to off-campus locations for calls, they will assist you in any way possible concerning criminal or safety matters in the Ventura County area. If you are concerned for your immediate safety, dial 911. Students living off campus should follow these precautions:

1. Install and use a deadbolt and a peephole on your door and effective locking devices on your windows.
2. Be sure to request identification or call a visitor鈥檚 business before admitting an unknown visitor into your home. Police officers, sales people, or repair people on legitimate business will display credentials whenever asked.
3. Do not open your door to strangers in need; instead, offer to call for assistance.
4. If you live alone, do not advertise it. Use only your first initial and last name on your mailbox or in the telephone book.
5. When moving into a house or apartment, it is wise to have the door locks changed. Previous owners, tenants, or past employees may still have keys.
6. If you receive a wrong number telephone call, do not give the caller your name, number, address, or any information to indicate you are alone. Do not prolong the conversation. If you receive an obscene call, hang up immediately and notify the local Police Department.
7. Window shades and drapes should be drawn after dark. Leave lights on in two or more rooms to indicate the presence of other persons.
8. Apartment laundry rooms, parking garages, and elevators are environments for trouble. Be alert and cautious. If your suspicions are aroused, avoid the area.
9. Get to know your neighbors so you can watch out for each other and provide mutual protection.

The federal Military Selective Service Act (the 鈥淎ct鈥�) requires most males residing in the United States to present themselves for registration with the Selective Service System within thirty days of their eighteenth birthday. Most males between the ages of 18 and 25 must be registered. Males born after December 31, 1959, may be required to submit a statement of compliance with the Act and regulations in order to receive any grant, loan, or work assistance under specified provisions of existing federal law.
