Disclosures shall be provided to the San Diego State University Center for the Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination for further adjudication.

As part of its commitment to a safe and equitable “OneSDSU” community, SDSU requires that individuals seeking faculty employment provide at the time of application authorization to conduct background checks if they become a finalist for the position; applications without this authorization will be considered incomplete and not considered.
