A male student at California State University-Fresno was expelled after his school investigated the claims of two women who said he sexually assaulted them. Based on available evidence, a judge has called for the school to overturn its decision.
John Doe, as he is referred to <a href="https://kcjohnson.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/doe-v-cal-trustees-fresno-st.pdf">in court documents</a>, was accused on April 16, 2016 of drugging women and sleeping with them at parties. Court documents don&#8217;t support that he did this. The accusation came from someone referred to only as &#8220;Witness C.&#8221; Following this person&#8217;s complaint, two women &#8212; listed as Jane Roe 1 and Jane Roe 2 (Jane 1 and Jane 2 hereafter) &#8212; moved forward with the CSUF complaint process, accusing John of sexual assault. Jane 1 claimed to have been sexually assaulted in July 2015 and Jane 2 claimed her assault happened in April 2016.
CSUF&#8217;s interim Title IX Coordinator, Erin Boele, conducted the investigation. On June 5, 2016, Boele issued her report, which concluded that John had sexually assaulted Jane 1 because she was 17 years old at the time of the encounter and sexually assaulted Jane 2 because she was allegedly incapacitated during their first sexual encounter.
John was not given a copy of this report until much later in the process. Boele wrote on July 1, 2016 that the investigation was complete and John was responsible. The university forgot to send this email to John. It did remember, however, to send him a July 11 email saying he had been found responsible and faced suspension or expulsion. This email did not inform him that he had a right to appeal.
John was told at the sanctions hearing on August 12 that because he didn&#8217;t appeal the findings, &#8220;the outcome of the investigation will not be in question today,&#8221; according to court documents. Neither of his accusers attended the hearing. At this time, John tried to appeal, but was told it was too late. On August 23, he was expelled.
John appealed but was denied. John then petitioned CSU&#8217;s Chancellor&#8217;s Office, which told CSUF on June 2, 2017 to reopen the investigation since John had not received the July 1 email, and to allow John to see the investigation report, which it hadn&#8217;t allowed him to access.
After all this, CSUF upheld the findings against John and expelled him. So, John went to court.
Superior Court Judge Mary H. Strobel found several deficiencies in CSUF&#8217;s investigation of John. The student had originally been told he was accused of sexually assaulting Jane 1 because she was too drunk to consent. That claim apparently failed, so he was punished for sexually assaulting her because she was 17 at the time of the sexual intercourse. Boele even amended the investigation complaint, without new evidence, to claim that John told her he knew Jane 1 was 17 at the time of their encounter. John says he said no such thing. Judge Strobel declared Boele&#8217;s addition of this claim, which did not exist in the original report or in any of her investigative notes, &#8220;deserves little credence.&#8221;
Because John was not told what he was actually being investigated for, he had no way to defend himself. That, plus his inability to cross-examine his accusers, the witnesses, or the evidence against him led Strobel to conclude he had not been given a fair investigation.
Further, as to Jane 2, it turns out the school had no jurisdiction to investigate her claim because she had dropped out prior to the sexual encounter and could not be counted as a &#8220;student&#8221; under the university&#8217;s own policy. As to her claim, John says he was not able to cross-examine her, even though the case hung on credibility.
Strobel concluded that &#8220;Even if CSUF did have authority over Roe 2&#8217;s complaint, then the procedure was unfair for these additional reasons.&#8221;
If Roe 2 truly believes she was sexually assaulted, she should have gone to the police.
Strobel granted John&#8217;s petition for writ of mandate and will order CSUF &#8220;to set aside the administrative decision with respect to Roe 1 and Roe 2, and the sanction of expulsion.&#8221;
This is, according to author and professor K.C. Johnson, <a href="https://twitter.com/kcjohnson9/status/1092998708193579008">the 132nd loss for a university in court</a> following 2011 guidance from the Obama administration that decimated due process rights for accused students. President Donald Trump&#8217;s Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, is working to provide those rights.

On Tuesday, Fresno State University announced that the professor who celebrated the death of Barbara Bush and who promoted acts of domestic terrorism will face no disciplinary actions from the university.
Fresno State President Joseph Castro said that after reviewing the &#8220;facts,&#8221; the university will take no disciplinary action against Jarrar because she did not violate any university policies and she was acting in a &#8220;private capacity.&#8221;

Castro concluded his statement by writing, &#8220;I want to thank all of you for sharing your views and opinions.&#8221;
Castro failed to address multiple other issues surrounding Jarrar, including her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29598/situation-involving-fresno-state-professor-gets-ryan-saavedra">interference with Arizona State&#8217;s crisis hotline</a>, her comments <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29728/watch-fresno-state-professor-praises-planes-ryan-saavedra">celebrating plane hijackers</a>, and her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29728/watch-fresno-state-professor-praises-planes-ryan-saavedra">calls for violence</a> against specific people.
Jarrar sparked controversy last week when she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29564/fresno-state-professor-celebrates-barbara-bushs-ryan-saavedra">tweeted</a>: &#8220;Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal. F**k outta here with your nice words.&#8221;
Jarrar, who later bragged that she couldn&#8217;t be fired because of tenure, also tweeted: &#8220;PSA: either you are against these pieces of s**t and their genocidal ways or you&#8217;re part of the problem. that&#8217;s actually how simple this is. I&#8217;m happy the witch is dead. can&#8217;t wait for the rest of her family to fall to their demise the way 1.5 million iraqis have. byyyeeeeeeee.&#8221;
Jarrar later added: &#8220;All the hate I&#8217;m getting ALMOST made me forget how happy I am that George W Bush is probably really sad right now.&#8221;

Fresno State Announces Fate Of Professor Who Celebrated Barbara Bush’s Death

A newly uncovered video featuring Fresno State professor Randa Jarrar shows the far-left professor praising plane hijackers and calling for acts of domestic terrorism against specific individuals.
<a href="http://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article209454829.html">The Fresno Bee</a> reports:
<blockquote>
In one clip featured in the video, Jarrar is discussing Fresno&#8217;s agriculture industry and says &#8220;a lot of the farmers now are Trump supporters and just f&#8212;ing stupid.&#8221; In another, she says she can&#8217;t stand &#8220;the white, hetero patriarchy.&#8221;
</blockquote>
Jarrar, who is currently under investigation by the university for recent tweets attacking the Bush family after the passing of Barbara Bush, is also seen in the video promoting &#8220;resistance fighters&#8221; who hijacked planes in the 1960s and &#8217;70s.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t give a f&#8212;. I&#8217;m buying guns. I&#8217;m an American. I&#8217;m buying guns,&#8221; Jarrar said. &#8220;The other side is, like, doing some stupid s&#8212;. I&#8217;m gonna do some stupid s&#8212;. I&#8217;m tired of, like, being the bigger person &#8212; literally am usually &#8212; but, like, I&#8217;m also just tired of the left being, like, f&#8212;ing stupid and being like, &#8216;No we have to like be gentle&#8217; &#8230; no, don&#8217;t be f&#8212;&#8212; gentle.'&#8221;
Later in the clip, Jarrar calls for attacks against someone named Spencer, asking why &#8220;Spencer&#8217;s house is still standing.&#8221;
&#8220;It needs to be f&#8212;ing broken into,&#8221; she said. &#8220;People need to f&#8212;ing throw grenades into it. I don&#8217;t give a f&#8212;.&#8221;

Fresno, California

Terrorism

On Tuesday, in the wake of the passing of former First Lady Barbara Bush, tenured Fresno State University professor Randa Jarrar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29616/heres-why-nasty-fresno-state-professor-shouldnt-be-ben-shapiro">tweeted</a>: &#8220;Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal. F*** outta here with your nice words.&#8221; The lovely professor then bragged that she could not be fired.
In response to the hateful comments, California College Republicans (CCR) will be hosting a memorial for Mrs. Bush on the Fresno campus, open to the public. The club has personally invited Jarrar for a little &#8220;education&#8221; on the former first lady&#8217;s legacy.
&#8220;I am shocked but not surprised that yet another professor at a California university has made egregious and inappropriate comments about a Republican,&#8221; CCR Chairwoman Ariana Rowlands said in a press release.
&#8220;These Leftist professors have no respect for the office- and they are preaching attitudes like those to our nation&#8217;s children. It is truly a shame when ideological differences trump common decency, but the California College Republicans will respond by holding a memorial that will be open to all for former First Lady Barbara Bush on the Fresno State campus. We invite Professor Jarrar to attend this memorial so she may educate herself on the truth surrounding Mrs. Bush&#8217;s extraordinary life and accomplishments,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;The California College Republicans are proud to stand up for the legacy of former First Lady Barbara Bush, and are committed to fighting the disrespect for conservative dignitaries that is a trend in leftist academic institutions,&#8221; said the press release. The club added that details surrounding the memorial will be announced shortly.
&#8220;We extend our thoughts and prayers to the Bush family during this period of mourning,&#8221; said the release.
The university has stated that Jarrar is currently on leave this semester and her words about Mrs. Bush were not stated in any official capacity.
