Joseph I. Castro resigned on Thursday. effective immediately. said the CSU Board of Trustees. In a statement. Castro called it the most difficult decision of his professional life. Castro fell under criticism after an investigation by USA TODAY published on Feb. 3 questioned the handling of misconduct complaints against Frank Lamas. former Fresno State vice president of student affairs. while Castro was the university’s president. The article said that Lamas was the subject of a series of informal complaints including allegations beginning in 2014 that he improperly touched women. made sexist comments and harassed or retaliated against workers. No action was taken against Lara until a formal complaint was filed in 2019. when he was barred from campus and later found to have violated a CSU harassment policy. according to documents cited by the San Francisco Chronicle. Lara denied the allegations and appealed the finding. He retired in 2020 as part of a settlement agreement. Under the agreement. he received a $260.000 payment and while he was barred from ever working at CSU again. Castro agreed to write him a letter of recommendation to help find work elsewhere. the documents indicated. The revelations sparked a protest by Fresno State students earlier this month. Steve Relyea. CSU’s executive vice chancellor and chief financial officer. will be acting chancellor until an interim chancellor has been named. the board said. The Cal State system is the largest four year public university system in the country with 23 campuses. 477.000 students and 56.000 faculty and staff. according to its website. Castro. appointed in 2020. was the first Mexican American and native Californian to lead the CSU system. “I have been honored to serve the California State University for more than eight years. including as its eighth chancellor. and the decision to resign is the most difficult of my professional life.” Castro said in a statement. “While I disagree with many aspects of recent media reports and the ensuing commentary. it has become clear to me that resigning at this time is necessary so that the CSU can maintain its focus squarely on its educational mission and the impactful work yet to be done.” #Sports ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoLIBeoCem8

Christina Yuna Lee’s blood is on the hands of Democrats A homeless career criminal with three open cases stalks a young woman. forces his way into her Chinatown apartment. stabs her to death — and Democrats blame everything from Donald Trump to the end of child tax credits. Everything except their anti cop. soft on crime policies that have caused the inevitable breakdown of law and order that led to the gruesome death of Christina Yuna Lee. Lee’s murder is every woman’s worst nightmare. Her screams brought the police. but by the time they managed to break down her reinforced steel door. she was dead in her bathtub. stabbed 40 times. Surveillance footage shows suspected killer Assamad Nash loitering outside her apartment building when she returned home alone in a cab early Sunday. and then coolly pushing open the door behind her before following her upstairs. He would never have been there that night if Albany lawmakers had not vandalized the bail laws in 2020. He should have been in jail. Nash reportedly has been arrested seven times since 2017 and has three open cases in Manhattan Criminal Court. He was already out on bail for an alleged subway assault when he was arrested again last month and charged with 27 counts of criminal mischief. attempted escape and resisting arrest — crimes that have been decriminalized by Alvin Bragg. our new progressive Manhattan DA. You would think that Democratic women would show some empathy about Lee’s tragedy. But all White House press secretary Jen Psaki could do this week when asked about the rise in anti Asian hate crime (up 339% nationwide last year) was fall back on her favorite scapegoat. ex President Donald Trump. “We’ve seen this rise. unfortunately. because of hate filled rhetoric and language around the origins of the pandemic.” said Psaki. echoing her previous comments when she blamed “the prior administration [for] calling COVID the ‘Wuhan virus’ [which] led to perceptions … that have … elevated threats against Asian Americans.” Her excuse is absurd since everyone has seen. whether in surveillance footage or mug shots. that most perpetrators of assaults against Asians are black males. not a demographic that traditionally takes its cues from Republican presidents. But President Biden’s spokesperson must live in a comfortable cocoon there in DC. “Soft on crime consequences.” she said airily a few weeks ago in an interview pouring scorn on Fox News’ coverage of the nationwide crime wave. “What does that even mean?” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was equally callous toward victims when she claimed that people commit crimes because they are too poor to buy baby formula. “We want to say these people are criminals or we want to talk about ‘people who are viole ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=420D_tZcoQw

Texas national guardsmen say their mission to secure the border is a waste of time and resources Del Rio. Texas (CNN)Since Texas Republican Gov. deployed thousands of personnel to the US Mexico border. the operation has been slammed as overtly political and a waste of resources by Democratic lawmakers and even some of the National Guard members participating in the mission. Last March. Abbott. who's up for reelection. launched 'Operation Lone Star.' citing a crisis at the US southern border. The operation which leaned on resources from Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas National Guard has swelled to more than 10.000 service members. The speed at which the operation launched and its scope has fueled frustrations internally and among veterans of the Guard. Multiple members of the Guard who are deployed as part of Operation Lone Star and spoke to CNN described long hours with little to do. poor planning. and a lack of mission all of which. they say. are contributing to low morale among soldiers. 'As military. people know the term hurry up and wait. This is just the biggest hurry up and wait I was a part of. and there's really no set. 'hey. we're doing this. or hey. go out and do this.' It's just. we're sitting around doing nothing.' one soldier said. Last year. several Republican governors across the country sent state law enforcement officials to the US Mexico border. giving each the opportunity to emphasize their fealty to former President Donald Trump... #Sports ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wwFdN72-Is
