Title IX: CSUF Clery Report due
UC System sues Trump admin.
DeVos’ plans for school policy raises urgency of deadline for CSUF’s sexual assault report.
CSUF not considering legal action, but evaluates its options regarding DACA appeals
After Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos’ announcement of her plans to abrade certain sexual assault guidelines within Title IX, the Oct.1 deadline for Cal State Fullerton to submit its annual Clery Report of on-campus sexual assault statistics has become more crucial than ever. CSUF would face a number of penalties, should it fail to meet the deadline. “If you don’t post it on time, and properly, then it’s a violation, and you can be fined by the Department of Education,” said Administrative Capt. John Brockie of the University Police Department. University Police submits the report annually on behalf of the university. “(The Department of Education) can initiate an audit on their behalf. It’s very important,” Brockie said. In April 2017, the fines for universities’ noncompliance with the Jeanne Clery Act were more than doubled to $54,789 per violation by the Department of Education. Brockie said he’s confident the university will meet its deadline and that it will be posted on University Police’s website alongside an email notifying students, faculty and staff of the posting. Between 2013 and 2015, 43 crimes were reported in or around CSUF’s main campus involving forcible sex offenses, domestic or dating

JOHN BROCKIE University Police Administrative Captain cies on the belief that the process of addressing such crimes is inherently flawed. “This campus official, who may or may not have any training in adjudicating sexual misconduct, is expected to render a judgment, a judgment that changes the direction of both students’ lives,” DeVos said in her announcement. Brockie’s confidence in University Police’s ability to address sexual assault remains unfazed by DeVos’ remarks. “When you talk about sexual assault, there’s a lot of potential issues,” Brockie said. “From a criminal standpoint, I’m very confident that we do investigate sexual assault allegations properly and that we follow up on them, and follow criminal procedures and file them with the district attorney.” SEE CLERY 2

The University of California Office of the President, announced a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and its acting Secretary Elaine Duke Friday over the Trump administration’s decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. “The United States and the university have benefitted enormously from the presence of the Dreamers, accomplished young men and women who are our students, and colleagues and neighbors,” the lawsuit reads. “They are Americans, a fact the defendants’ precipitous decision cannot change.” The lawsuit was filed by the Regents of the University of California and UC President Janet Napolitano, with pro bono support of Covington & Burling, LLP. Napolitano served as secretary of DHS in 2012 and headed the creation of the DACA program under former President Barack Obama. “It is imperative ... that we stand up for these vital members of the UC community. They represent the best of who we are — hard-working, resilient and motivated high achievers,” Napolitano said in a press release. According to the lawsuit, the UC system has about 4,000 undocumented students, many of whom benefit from
DACA, as well as staff members who have been aided by the program. The plaintiffs decided to file the lawsuit because the administration failed to “articulate a satisfactory explanation” for eliminating DACA, which has received heavy investment and benefits by the system’s “intellectual capital and productivity.” The lawsuit also claims that the repeal is based on an incorrect legal premise by relying on the purported illegality of the DACA program, despite the fact that “no court has upheld DACA as unlawful.”

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LAWSUIT “(The) defendants’ capricious rescission of the DACA program violates both the procedural and substantive requirements of the APA, as well as the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment,” the lawsuit reads. The lawsuit says the rescission violates Administrative Procedures Act (APA) guidelines by preventing DHS from granting advance parole or renewing DACA status after Oct. 5 and violates the Due Process Clause by failing to provide any process to the UC system or DACA recipients before removing whatever value the program offers.

CSUF shuts out Utah Valley 3-0 Titans continue to maintain their one game loss. KATHRYNE PADILLA Sports Editor
Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer won its second game in a row with a 3-0 shutout against the Utah Valley Wolverines Sunday which improved its record to 5-1-2, but the Titans are still focused on how to improve. “It’s always good to get a win,” said Titans Head Coach Demian Brown. “I thought we could have done a little bit better in our attack and kind of forcing the issue a little more and it’s those types of things we’ll continue to work on.” The first half was scoreless until the 29th minute, when Kaycee Hoover took a shot opportunity and fired the ball into the back of the net to give Fullerton a 1-0 lead. Shortly after in the 35th minute, Tala Haddad took a corner kick that rolled through the defense and into the net for an unexpected second goal. “I was a little bit surprised. It was a good surprise,” Haddad said. “I guess it’s called an Olympic goal when it doesn’t touch anybody else and it goes right in. Those don’t happen very often, so it was a nice feeling.” Three minutes later, Samantha Koemans’ placed her foot perfectly under the ball to send her free kick over the three-person wall

A glass jar filled with liquid that would look relatively normal were it not holding a preserved human hand, sits on a desk. In another photo, a preserved head of a young woman can be seen looking almost peaceful while held in a square jar. These photographs and others like them are on display in “The Dead” exhibit by Jack Burman in the Nicholas & Lee Begovich Gallery at Cal State Fullerton. Throughout the exhibit, visitors can witness the haunting reality of what remains after death. Despite the topic of mortality being quite eerie, the photographs provide visitors with a view into the mind of Burman. SEE DEAD
