Former CSU chancellor fumbled sexual harassment complaints, probe confirms

released Thursday, Sept. 29, by the California State University Chancellor’s Office confirmed allegations that former Chancellor Joseph Castro failed to properly address sexual harassment complaints against a former Cal State Fresno administrator when Castro was president there.alleging he mishandled sexual harassment and hostile work environment complaints against Frank Lamas, the former vice president of student affairs at Cal State Fresno.

Even after an investigation confirmed Lamas’ alleged inappropriate behavior and policy violations in June 2020, Castro continued to support Lamas, recommending him for a position on campus in the School of Education without disclosing the complaints and investigation reports about Lamas to the university’s provost and vice president for academic affairs.

In a statement Thursday, CSU interim Chancellor Jolene Koester said: “The report concluded that while the campus took action to explore and address each of the reports made, some responses substantially complied with applicable policy while others did not. The report identified among several issues, the President’s failure to more rigorously address reports of Lamas’s alleged misconduct as a notable factor that negatively impacted the effectiveness of the campus’s responses.

However, Wegner concluded that the settlement agreement was above board, finding it did not violate CSU policies and that there were legitimate reasons for it.
