California State University reached a settlement with the California Faculty Association that requires CSU to notify employees before disclosing personal identifying information to federal agencies—unless notice is legally prohibited. The case arose after Cal State LA provided identifying details for some 2,600 employees to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission during an antisemitism probe. The settlement defines "personal information" broadly—names, SSNs, addresses, education, employment and statements attributed to individuals—and obliges CSU to inform affected employees "as soon as reasonably practical." The union called the agreement a victory for worker privacy and transparency. For campus leaders, the settlement reinforces the need for careful compliance planning when responding to subpoenas and federal investigations and for clear internal notification protocols to protect employee privacy and institutional trust.
