For Black History Month, CSUDH hosted a series of courses on Instagram in February 2021. These were part of the series, "Social Justice Wednesdays: Make Dollars with Your Sense." This is a joint effort by the Rose Black Resource Center and the Loker Student Union. Participants have the incentive of the chance at winning gift cards.

CSUDH states that its Master of Social Work Program "is the only program in the nation – and likely in the world – whose theoretical foundation is rooted in CRT and Intersectionality." A CRT course is required in the first semester of this program, and the entire curriculum that ensues also incorporates CRT.

As part of its Black Lives Matter Statement, the Career Center at CSUDH stated that it "wants to let our community know we are here, we are ready, and we are willing to put in the work to create and sustain systemic change. The work happening on our streets, in our news, and within our systems will continue to enact change in our curriculum, programming, and career readiness conversations."

The Criminology and Justice Studies program utilizes CRT in its curriculum.

The Psychology Department of CSUDH promises it will "invest in a curriculum that includes the theme of anti-racism and brings awareness to the needs and concerns of people of color. Curricular efforts can include the modification of existing courses or the creation of new courses, new tracks of related courses, and new minors."

The Psychology Department of CSUDH stated that it will "support organizations that champion equality and act to stifle discrimination, such as the NAACP, ACLU, Campaign Zero and, the Association of Black Psychologists, and the Black Lives Matter Global Network."

The Psychology Department commits that it will "vote in elections at the university-, local-, state-, and federal-level to support systemic changes in pursuit of anti-racism policies and leaders. In addition, the Psychology Department will use our collective voice to make meaningful communication efforts with legislators when policies are not in agreement with our statement."

CSUDH provided a video resource as an introduction to CRT within its Master of Social Work program.

The Career Center provides numerous Anti-Racism resources.

The Psychology Department of CSUDH seeks to mentor "students of color and other marginalized populations."

In response to the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, the university released a statement saying, "We acknowledge that these acts of violence are the product of long-term structural and systemic racism. We also acknowledge the heartbreak, fear, exhaustion, and anger that is affecting our students, staff, faculty, administration, and community. Raising our voices in protest is critical, as is channeling our energies into the productive broadening and sustaining of organized nonviolent actions toward effective change."

In response to the Derek Chauvin verdict, the President stated that, "As long as minor infractions that could be handled with a simple citation are confronted by police with the brutality of lethal force and barbaric control of people perceived to be a threat, then genuine justice will continue to be relegated to the bookshelves of aspirational ideals."
