Title IX Notice of Non-Discrimination on the Basis of Gender or Sex
The California State University does not discriminate on the basis of gender, which includes sex and gender identity or gender expression, or sexual orientation in its education programs or activities.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and certain other federal and state laws, prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender or sexual orientation in employment, as well as in all education programs and activities operated by the University (both on and off campus), including admissions. The protection against discrimination on the basis of gender or sexual orientation includes sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and gender based dating and domestic violence and stalking.

Such a report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by using the telephone number or electronic mail address, or by mail to the office address, listed for the Title IX Coordinator.

Students: Outreach & Student Recruitment Native American Initiative
In collaboration with local tribes and other community stakeholders, CSUSB's NAEAI created a specialized outreach unit to serve our Native American students and community members. Through the generous financial support of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, CSUSB has created specific scholarships, offices, and outreach support for the American Indian and Indigenous student populations interested in attending CSUSB or other CSU/UC systems. The recent grant awarded CSUSB, through San Manuel Band of Mission Indians in the amount of $960,000, allows CSUSB to provide valuable support and resources for students, which otherwise might not be possible. The grant also helped support the creation of the Native American Outreach Coordinators, who serve as individualized resources for students, while providing personalized higher education information, workshops, and engagement in culturally tailored approaches to promote and enhance Native American experiences on and off campus.

Academic Staff: Diversity and Equity in Promotion, Tenure, and Hiring (DEPTH)
The Diversity and Equity in Promotion, Tenure, and Hiring (DEPTH) Center was created to enact initiatives with the goal of increasing the number of women and underrepresented minority faculty at CSUSB, particularly in STEM departments. The DEPTH Center is supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) ADVANCE grant of nearly $1 million, which was awarded to CSUSB in the fall of 2018. The NSF ADVANCE program supports systemic approaches to increase the participation and advancement of women in academic STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers. Because systematic approaches require institutional-level change, the DEPTH Center seeks to broaden the STEM workforce by fostering changes in policy and procedures that affect faculty hiring, evaluation, and retention outcomes across academic departments.

Students: Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program
The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (Mellon) is a 2-year program at CSUSB that provides financial support, research mentorship, and assistance with graduate school applications.
The program is the centerpiece of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s initiatives to increase diversity in the faculty ranks of institutions of higher learning. Established in 1988 by William G. Bowen, then the president of the Foundation, and Mellon program associate Henry Drewry, the MMUF program began with an initial cohort of eight member institutions. Since then, the program has grown to include 48 member schools and three consortia, including three South African universities and a consortium of historically black colleges and universities within the membership of the UNCF. As of 2017, over 5000 students have been selected as fellows, more than 700 of whom have earned the Ph.D. and over 100 of whom are now tenured faculty members. The great majority of those who have completed the Ph.D. hold or have held an appointment in the academy.
The fundamental objective of MMUF is to address, over time, the problem of underrepresentation in the academy at the level of college and university faculties. This goal can be achieved both by increasing the number of students from underrepresented minority groups (URM) who pursue PhDs and by supporting the pursuit of PhDs by students who may not come from traditional minority groups but have otherwise demonstrated a commitment to the goals of MMUF. The MMUF program is designed to encourage fellows to enter Ph.D. programs that prepare students for professorial careers; it is not intended to support students who intend to go on to medical school, law school or other professional schools.
Student Mentoring Program:
The Student Mentoring Program at CSUSB fosters the success of first and second year undergraduate students through peer-to-peer programs that encourage academic excellence, campus connectedness and engagement, the personal growth, and professional development of participating students.

A brief description of the institution’s programs to support and prepare students from underrepresented groups for careers as faculty members:
The California State University’s (CSU) Pre-Doctoral Program has granted the Sally Casanova scholarship to over 2254 low-income and educationally disadvantaged students throughout the CSU, the majority of whom are first-generation college students. For the 2019-20 academic year, 74 new scholars will join this group representing 16 of the 23 CSU campuses.
The California Pre-Doctoral Program is designed to increase diversity within the pool of university faculty by supporting the doctoral aspirations of students in the CSU--with particular support for low-income and educationally disadvantaged students. Awardees of this scholarship represent juniors, seniors, and master’s level students who come from a variety of academic disciplines. Each of these scholars are mentored by a faculty member from their respective campus.
The scholarship provides the Sally Casanova Scholars with:
-An opportunity to travel with their mentor to various University of California (UC) and other doctoral-granting institutions for site visits;
-Attendance at national symposia, or professional meetings, exposing them to their field of interest; and
-Membership in professional organizations, subscriptions to academic journals, or
-Purchasing of supplies necessary to carry out their current research agenda.
In addition, these scholars are offered an opportunity to participate in a summer research experience at any doctoral-granting institution in the United States, with particular emphasis on the UCs. This eight-week program gives the scholars direct exposure to doctoral-granting faculty and research, preparing them for entry into doctoral programs.
