Some 200 faculty and students have signed an open letter demanding that 61-year-old Francisca Trigueros get her job back and are calling on USC to protect her from what they say was an unlawful arrest.
Dozens of professors and faculty members rallied around a 61-year-old janitor at the University of Southern California who they said was falsely accused of stealing a student's backpack, and now they're trying to get her reinstated.
For more than two decades, Francisca Trigueros had worked as a janitor in the Seely Mudd Building at USC, which home to the university's psychology department. Many in the department were floored when they learned that the 61-year-old janitor was handcuffed, arrested and promptly fired last month. Trigueros was accused of stealing a student's backpack that was stuffed with a sizable amount of cash.
According to several professors who work in the building, Trigueros found the backpack in an unlocked classroom. She usually turned lost items in at the main psychology office, but the woman who staffs the office said she was on vacation that week.
