The Basic reasons for which a university exists are the discovery and transmission of knowledge, and activities that are founded upon the free and open exchange of ideas. Such activities flourish only in a climate unfettered by exploitation, coercion, harassment, intimidation, and/or reprisal.

Members of the CSUEB community have the right to live, work, and learn in an environment free of unlawful discrimination. It is the policy of CSUEB that no student, employee, volunteer, member of the public, or recipient of services and/or benefits provided by CSUEB shall be subjected to any form of prohibited discrimination in any CSUEB programs or activities.
