The chancellor of California State University resigned amid criticism of mishandling sexual harassment allegations at one of the colleges in the university system.
California State University Chancellor Joseph Castro announced he would step down on Thursday after lawmakers and faculty alleged he mishandled sexual abuse allegations while working as president of Fresno State University, one of the schools within the university system.
Support for Castro had been eroding since one newspaper's investigation charged him with mishandling sexual abuse allegations against a faculty member at California State University, Fresno. State Sen. Connie Levya called for an"immediate and thorough investigation," and California Assemblyman Jim Patterson called for a state audit to examine Title IX protocols within the university.
A Feb. 3 investigation by USA Today called into question Castro's handling of allegations against Fresno State's former Vice President of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management Frank Lamas. Although Lamas was abusive in the workplace and engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct toward other employees, Castro, who was campus president at the time, never disciplined him, instead praising him in performance reviews and regularly approving pay raises, the report concluded.
