CSU Executive Order 1083, "Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect," requires all University employees, campus community volunteers, and independent contractors to report any reasonable suspicion of child abuse encountered during their University-related work or volunteer activities. This obligation applies regardless of their status as mandated reporters under California law, and the report must follow the procedures outlined in the policy.
