Legislature To Hold Title IX Compliance Hearings
A recent report found that sexual harassment and discrimination complaints are often ignored across the CSU campuses.
SACRAMENTO, CA — California's Legislature will hold hearings this week on Title IX compliance across the state's higher education segments, said Mike Fong, chair of the Assembly's Higher Education Committee.
The tentative plan is to hold one hearing in October and another in November, but the specific dates and locations have not yet been determined.

Fong has said that he wants to address Title IX compliance at CSU but also at the University of California and the state's system of community colleges. The hearings will focus on all three segments.
"This is something we're going to take a closer look at," he said.
