Fresno State’s Title IX office understaffed, ineffective under Castro

• Fresno State’s Title IX workplace had no full-time staffers till 2018, regardless of federal suggestions
• The college’s then-victim advocate complained of dysfunction, lack of any “actual” prevention efforts
• Even after hiring a full-time Title IX coordinator, sexual violence investigations floor to a halt
• A feminine scholar advised USA TODAY she acquired little safety after she was groped in a campus corridor

Throughout his seven years as president of California State College’s Fresno campus, Joseph Castro sparked ire amongst college students and employees for failing to heed repeated warnings that the college lacked the sources wanted to maintain ladies on campus secure.

Castro left Fresno State in December 2020 to grow to be chancellor of all the 23-campus CSU. He resigned final month amid mounting strain after a USA TODAY investigation revealed he mishandled years of sexual harassment complaints in opposition to a prime administrator as president of Fresno State.
