Know Your Options

Help is available. Call 9-1-1 if you are in the midst of any kind of emergency, immediate harm or threat of harm.

Criminal Reporting

Reporting to University police and/or local police is an option at any time following a Sexual Violence incident.

If you choose not to report to the police immediately, you can still make the report at a later time. 

However, with the passage of time, the ability to gather evidence to assist with criminal prosecution may be limited. Depending on the circumstances, the police may be able to obtain a criminal restraining order on your behalf. The university police department has mutual agreements with all agencies in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. In case of a parallel investigation, information regarding the incident shall be shared exclusively on a "need to know" basis.

Administrative Reporting

You may report to the campus Title IX Coordinator any incident of Sex Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, or Sexual Violence (including Rape, Acquaintance Rape, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence and Stalking).

Non-Reporting

You are strongly encouraged to report any incident of Sexual Violence to the police and/or campus Title IX Coordinator so that steps may be taken to protect you and the rest of the campus community. However, non-reporting is also an option.

When the Investigation is Limited by Confidentiality

In cases where the university’s ability to investigate a complaint is limited due to the victim’s request for confidentiality, Cal State East Bay will take a comprehensive approach to preventing sexual assault. This includes taking steps to limit the effects of the alleged sexual misconduct and prevent its recurrence without initiating formal action against the alleged perpetrator.

Examples of actions that can be taken include: 

• providing increased monitoring, supervision, or security at locations or activities where the misconduct occurred
• providing training and education materials for students and employees; revising and publicizing the school’s policies on sexual misconduct
• conducting climate surveys regarding sexual misconduct.
