Former Oswego State professor charged with sexual assault Julia Tilley News Editor jtilley@oswegonian.com
On Monday, Oswego City police arrested 42-year-old Dwayne Arruza of Waterloo, New York. Arruza is currently being investigated for allegedly “engaging in oral and sexual intercourse with a person less than 15 years of age,” according to a press release by the Oswego City Police Department. Arruza taught at Oswego State for one semester, according to chief communication officer Wayne Westervelt. “Dwayne Arruza was an instructor who taught one course during one semester at SUNY Oswego. He is not currently employed by SUNY Oswego in any capacity,” Westervelt said. Some Oswego State students
who had Arruza as a professor noted he was absent frequently, and considered his large amount of absences to be unusual. “He would always miss class and blame it on car trouble,” first-year student Michael Talbot said. “When he showed up to class, he would talk about how he and his girlfriend were having problems. [He] treated us more like friends than students. He was an awkward person, but never made us feel uncomfortable.” According to former students, he did not give much notice for missing class, and would miss “more than half of [the] classes.” Other students expressed similar sentiments, and brought up that he frequently mentioned his girlfriend and disputes they had.

having the experience you want does not mean that you are responsible or defective.” The event, “Getting Comfortable with the Uncomfortable” held in the Sheldon Hall Ballroom was organized by Oswego State’s Residence Hall Association and sponsored by Campus Life, The Dean of Students office, New Student Orientation and Health Services. “An incredible amount of work went into this. We have been planning it since before the break but it has been worth it,” Justin Techmanski, event organizer and president of the RHA said.
Being in a place that has resulted in people achieving specific goals and being surrounded by those positive people and, having the patience to grow, will help to ensure success, and confidence, according to Cohen. “You need to have someone in Oswego you can turn to when you are nervous so that you have someone in your corner,” Cohen said. “If there is something you want and you are limited by that thing then you always need to think, people, places and patience.”
