Though Joseph Castro resigned under pressure Feb. 17, the CSU board still decided to investigate him for allegations stemming from his tenure as president at Fresno State.
The California State University’s Board of Trustees announced Tuesday, March 1, it will commission an independent investigation into former Chancellor Joseph Castro’s handling of sexual harassment complaints against an administrator at Fresno State when Castro was president there.
“The CSU is initiating a Title IX assessment across the nation’s largest public four-year higher education system to ensure the health, safety and welfare of our students, faculty and staff,” acting CSU Chancellor Steve Relyea said in a statement Tuesday. “We will continue to fortify our commitment to be leaders of Title IX innovation and response.”
Castro allowed Lamas to quietly retire in 2020 with a golden parachute of $260,000, retirement benefits and a glowing letter of recommendation from Castro, according to a settlement agreement with the university, signed by Lamas on Aug. 31, 2020.
