Title IX Syllabus Addendum
California University of Pennsylvania
Reporting Obligations of Faculty Members under Title IX
of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. §1681, et seq.
California University of Pennsylvania and its faculty are committed to assuring a safe and productive educational
environment for all students. In order to meet this commitment and to comply with the Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 and guidance from the Office of Civil Rights, the University requires faculty members to
report incidents of sexual violence shared by students to the University’s Title IX Coordinator, Dr. John A.
Burnett, Special Assistant to the President for EEEO, Office of Social Equity, South Hall 112, Burnett@calu.edu,
724-938-4014. The only exceptions to the faculty member’s reporting obligation are when incidents of sexual
violence are communicated by a student during a classroom discussion, in a writing assignment for a class, or as
part of a University-approved research project. Faculty members are obligated to report sexual violence or any
other abuse of a student who was, or is, a child (person under 18 years of age) when the abuse allegedly occurred
to the person designated in the University protection of minors policy.

Additional Information for Course Proposals
K. Proposed Instructors:

addresses the history of making or offers the students the possibility of making objects that reflect and
illustrate the history of making. It fills a gap necessary for the student to gain a deeper understanding of the
making of artistic objects. The majority of students currently enrolled in our program are planning to pursue a
career in art making and this course offers them a theoretical as well as practical artistic framework.
M. Specialized Equipment or Supplies Needed:
Lab materials for the fabrication of art objects will be needed.
N. Answer the following questions using complete sentences:
1) Does the course require additional human resources? (Please explain)
No additional human resources are required.
2) Does the course require additional physical resources? (Please explain)
No additional physical resources are needed.If Yes, click here to answer Question N2, above.
3) Does the course change the requirements in any particular major? (Please explain)

4) Does the course replace an existing course in your program? (If so, list the course)
No, the course does not replace an existing course in our program.
5) How often will the course be taught?
The course will be taught every year.
6) Does the course duplicate an existing course in another Department or College? (If the possibility exists,
indicate course discipline, number, and name)
This course does not duplicate an existing course in another Department or College.
O. If the proposed course includes substantial material that is traditionally taught in another discipline, you must
request a statement of support from the department chair that houses that discipline.
