DNS poisoning at Google?

Well as Jeremy pointed out, your site is issuing
redirects, he gave you the command to show it:

curl -e 'http://google.com' csulb.edu

So if you're sure your server(s) haven't been hacked,
your application appears to have been hacked.  It only
issues the redirect if the visitor comes in from a
google search.
