State auditor’s office blasts Cal State for mishandling sexual misconduct cases

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:23:09 GMT

One day after California State University released a damning report about its mishandlings of sexual misconduct cases, the state auditor’s office has released an investigation of its own — one that calls for urgent, “systemwide changes” across the 23-campus network.The state auditor’s office reviewed 40 cases of alleged sexual harassment by employees of California State. In the process, it found the nation’s largest public university system repeatedly failed to address allegations of sexual harassment, revealing a lack of accountability at the highest level.The report noted that “campuses did not consistently count the number of reports of sexual harassment that they received.” But from what they did find, from 2018 to 2022, at least 1,251 employees at California State had been accused of sexual harassment allegations. Just 254 of those were investigated.At San Jose State, a school that has repeatedly made headlines for its mishandling of sexual misconduct complain...
