A year after a scathing report revealed widespread mishandling of sexual misconduct claims at San Jose State and across the California State University system, two new laws will require stronger sexual harassment policies at its 23 campuses.
AB 810, by Glendale Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, a Burbank Democrat, would require applicants to disclose if they had previously been found guilty of sexual misconduct. Friedman said the bill does not prohibit a college from hiring the applicant, but ensures administrators are aware of that applicant’s history.
