CSU Systemwide NAGPRA Policy: Faculty and Staff Listening Session
Thursday, November 12, 2026, 12:23pmTO: Campus Community
FR: Elise Alexandria-Green, Director of Tribal Relations
As we approach the one-year anniversary of the adoption of the CSU Systemwide Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Policy, the Chancellor’s Office is reopening the policy for review and inviting CSU faculty and staff to share their feedback.
The inaugural policy, adopted in November 2025, was developed through extensive engagement and consultation with California Tribal Nations and communities. As part of our commitment to ensuring the policy remains responsive, effective, and grounded in Tribal Sovereignty, we pledged to revisit it after its first year of implementation.
We recognize that faculty and staff play an important role in implementing this policy across our campuses, and your experiences and perspectives are valuable to this review. We invite you to participate in a virtual listening session hosted by the CSU Office of Tribal Relations to share what is working well, identify challenges, and offer recommendations for improvements.
Faculty and Staff Listening Session
Date: November 30, 2026

We encourage you to review the current CSU Systemwide NAGPRA Policy in advance of the session. If you are unable to attend this session, please utilize the feedback form that is always available on the CSU NAGPRA website.
Thank you for your continued engagement and commitment to this important work. Your participation will help strengthen our systemwide approach to NAGPRA/CalNAGPRA compliance and support the CSU's ongoing responsibility to Tribal Nations and Native communities.
