Sonoma State University President Judy Sakaki will step down amid a scandal involving sexual harassment reports about her husband and alleged retaliation by Sakaki against a school provost
Sakaki said in a statement that she will depart on July 31, calling her tenure as university president"an honor," the "After thoughtful reflection and discussions with my family, I made the decision to step away as president of this wonderful campus," she said.
Sakaki, 69, has been embroiled in controversy since April, when the Press Democrat reported that the California State University system paid a $600,000 settlement to a former Sonoma State provost. The payment was intended to resolve a dispute related to sexual harassment complaints from several female university employees against Sakaki's husband, Patrick McCallum.
Lisa Vollendorf, the provost, claimed Sakaki retaliated after she reported the complaints about McCallum to the CSU Chancellor's Office in late 2018.McCallum's behavior that made staff uncomfortable was described as lingering hugs, staring at women's breasts and brushing hair off their faces in an overly familiar way.First published on June 6, 2022 / 8:07 PM
