Weeks after Sonoma State's president criticized the CSU’s sex harassment response, she herself is embroiled in scandal, with faculty revolting against her.
University President Judy Sakaki announced the separation days after a Times investigation detailed reports of sexual harassment by her husband.During the meeting with Rendon’s office, Sakaki and other presidents said they and other top administrators across the nation’s largest four-year public university system had lost confidence in Castro, according to a campus president who took part in the discussion.
In January, Sakaki signed a settlement agreement with Vollendorf, who alleged she faced retaliation from Sakaki, her boss, after she reported the sexual harassment accusations about McCallum to the CSU general counsel, records in the case show. McCallum is a prominent higher education lobbyist and official campus volunteer who has attended many university events with his wife.
Professor Talena Sanders, who’s helping to draft the no-confidence resolution, said the scandal is a tipping point for many who have voiced frustration over Sakaki’s leadership in the midst of an ongoing drop in enrollment.
