Communications

The goal of the CSU Channel Islands Title IX Implementation Team is to support the campus community’s immediate and ongoing needs as it relates to Title IX and DHR by implementing marketing and website improvements, as well as initiating short- and long-term strategic communication plans by which to create greater awareness of policies and resources related to these programs. Additionally, this plan sets in place clear mechanisms by which to maintain transparency and accountability with the University’s internal and external stakeholders about Title IX and DHR at CSU Channel Islands, as well as the progress of the Implementation Team as the University works to meet the recommendations of the Cozen O’Conner report.
