California State University officials are launching an independent investigation into how Fresno State University administrators handled sexual harassment complaints against a former campus vice president.
Chancellor Joseph I. Castro’s resignation follows outcry over his handling of sexual misconduct and workplace harassment allegations while he was president of Fresno State.“It is important that we understand how campus leaders at Fresno State responded to the workplace concerns about Dr. Frank Lamas,” CSU Board of Trustees Chair Lillian Kimbell said in a statement. “We will investigate the past to reveal potential new facts, learn and take appropriate action.
The Cal State Board of Trustees, led by Chair Lillian Kimbell, is launching an investigation into Fresno State’s handling of allegations following calls for a probe. As part of Lamas’ settlement, he received a glowing letter of recommendation from Castro. Lamas has said he did nothing wrong, maintaining that he received positive evaluations while at the university.
Records show that the settlement was made on behalf of the Cal State trustees. But former board members said they were not informed of the deal when they selected Castro to become chancellor after White retired at the end of 2020.Trustees voted to review how Title IX cases involving sexual and gender harassment are handled across the Cal State system.
