CSTU is committed to taking appropriate action against those who violate the policy prohibiting sexual harassment. CSTU is committed to protecting victims of harassment from retaliation. The University recognizes the health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol and is committed to providing a drug -free educational environment and workplace. The University prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of any controlled substance and the abuse of alcohol by students and employees on university property or as part of any of its activities. Individuals found to be in violation or engaged in serious misconduct are subject to legal sanctions under local, State, or Federal law, as well as any administrative sanctions that the University may impose. CSTU complies with the Drug -Free School and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, Public Law 101-226, and the Drug- Free Workplace Act of 1988, Public Law 100-690. The University supports the purpose of this legislation and provides copies of the school policies governing drug and alcohol abuse to all employees and students. From time to time, differences in interpretation of university policies will arise among students, faculty, and/or the administration. When such differences arise, we urge students and staff to communicate any problems that arise directly to the individual(s) involved. If the problem cannot be resolved in this manner, the University administration should be contacted. Normally, the informal procedure of discussing the difference will resolve the problem. Any student who feels that he or she has been subjected to unfair treatment by the University by any of its employees, entities, policies, procedures or programs may report the matter in writing to the President for review and action. The President is located in the administrative location of CSTU and is open Monday through Friday 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM. On malting the complaint, the student will be advised of the next step, depending on the nature of the complaint. The first step would be to attempt to resolve the complaint informally. If the complaint is resolved satisfactorily to all parties concerned the case shall be closed, with a written notice to that effect sent to the complainant and the respondent. If no informal resolution is possible, and the student wishes to pursue the complaint, the grievance may be referred to the Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) State of California, P.O.
