Editorial: Is Cal State's chancellor fit to lead the nation's largest public university system? (via latimesopinion)
Chancellor Joseph I. Castro approved a quiet $260,000 payout to administrator Frank Lamas, who was accused of sexual misconduct, according to documents and officials.Yet Castro never disciplined Lamas with so much as a letter in his file, according to the USA Today report.
What’s particularly troubling is that Castro repeatedly praised Lamas in front of other employees, lauded him in performance reviews, endorsed him for a prestigious award and agreed to a retirement package with a sterling letter of recommendation — even though he knew about at least some of the complaints.
Students, staff and the community also were kept in the dark about what had been happening at the Fresno campus. Worse, the Cal State Board of Trustees wasn’t informed about the issue when it was vetting applicants for the chancellor’s job. These aren’t little oversights, to be publicly regretted only after the deed is discovered. It is long past the time when colleges could get away with sweeping serious allegations of sexual misconduct under the rug. And Castro’s apparent failure to realize that calls his judgment into question.
