Whistleblower Protection |
Executive Order No. 929 establishes procedures
for employees and applicants for employment at the CSU to make protected disclosures
of improper governmental activities or significant threats to health and safety.
Examples of improper activities by state employees that can be reported are
illegal acts like theft, fraud or conflicts of interest; misuse or abuse of
state property or time; and gross misconduct, incompetence or inefficiency.
How to Report Improper Governmental Activities
The campus administrator designated to receive protected disclosures by employees
who work at the Chancellor’s Office, or applicants for employment at the Chancellor’s
Office, is: Bruce Gibson, Senior Director, Human Resource Services, 2nd Floor,
Chancellor’s Office, (562) 951-4070. Chancellor’s Office employees may also make
protected disclosures directly to the Vice Chancellor of Human Resources.
The complaint form to use is
here.
Employees also have the option of contacting the California Bureau of State Audits
(BSA). There are two ways to share information with the BSA: Call the Whistleblower
Hotline at (800) 952-5665, or mail it to Investigations, Bureau of State Audits,
555 Capitol Mall, Suite 300, Sacramento, CA 95814.
How to File a Complaint for Retaliation for Making a Protected
Disclosure
Employees or applicants for employment who allege that they have been
retaliated against for having made a protected disclosure under the
California Whistleblower Act must use the procedure in
Executive Order No. 822 (.pdf).
The procedure requires that a complaint must be filed within (12) months of the
alleged act of retaliation. It is suggested that the complaint
form attached to Executive Order No. 822 (Attachment 1) be used. CO
employees/applicants should file complaints with (a) their supervisor or
manager, or (b) the Vice Chancellor of Human Resources.
A CO supervisor or manager who receives a whistleblower retaliation complaint
shall promptly transmit it to CO Human Resources, which will refer the complaint to
the Vice Chancellor of Human Resources.
Whistleblower retaliation complaints will be processed by the Vice Chancellor
of Human Resources in accordance with Executive Order No. 822.
Retaliation against employees who make protected disclosures is also prohibited under
Labor Code Section 1102.5 (b).
