Other Conduct of Concern (OCC)
OCC is conduct that does not violate CSU policies or local, state or federal laws and, therefore, does not warrant disciplinary action but that nevertheless negatively impacts the learning, living and working environment of the CSU community.
Members of the California State University, Northridge community have a right to work, live, and learn in an environment free from discrimination and/or harassment based on a protected status. CSUN is committed to maintaining an environment where no student, employee, visitor, or recipient of services and/or benefits provided by the University is subjected to any form of prohibited discrimination or harassment in any University program or activity.
We value inclusion as a necessary condition for achieving institutional excellence, and we strive to provide leadership that extends beyond the fulfillment of basic regulatory requirements. Every member of our campus community plays an integral role in contributing to our diversity and in addressing fundamental issues of bias and exclusion and building equity for all.
