"Under the settlement agreement, CSU must provide notice to employees as soon as reasonably practicable before complying with any subpoena for employees' personal information unless notice would be prohibited by law or regulation, according to a statement from the California Faculty Association. That includes name, social security number, physical description, home address, home telephone number, education, financial matters, medical or employment history and statements attributed to the individual."
"We celebrate this settlement as a win that will help prevent workers from being caught off guard by the CSU handing over personal information to federal agencies without the knowledge of the faculty impacted, said CFA in a statement. CSU released a statement saying that this agreement reinforces the CSU's longstanding commitment to employee privacy, transparency, and compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, including lawful subpoenas."
California State University settled litigation with the California Faculty Association, which represents 25,000 faculty across 22 campuses. The CFA sued after the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sought personal contact and demographic data for all Cal State Los Angeles employees and the union alleged notification came after data disclosure. The union expressed concern about broader disclosures tied to a systemwide federal probe into antisemitism. The settlement requires CSU to provide notice to employees as soon as reasonably practicable before complying with subpoenas for personal information unless prohibited by law, and specifies covered data types. Both parties emphasized protecting employee privacy.
