Garcia lied, he said in an email to the staff today August 16, 2006 that Cox was fired because of incompetence, insubordination and unprofessional conduct which was also aired on tv today..





According to the below article that was written in April 18,2005 by the Del Mar College Foghorn, “ [Tuesday April 11, Mike Westergren, DMC in-house attorney, confirmed. “Ms. Cox is on administrative leave from the college, but we can’t reveal the details about her leave,” Westergren said.

DMC President Dr. Carlos Garcia also confirmed Cox’s status. “We do not want to hear rumors that (Cox) was fired,” Garcia said. ]

Theresa Cox — Del Mar College

dean of Equal Opportunity and

Affirmative Action, Equity, Access

and Compliance — was placed on

administrative leave with pay last

Tuesday April 11, Mike Westergren,

DMC in-house attorney, confirmed.

“Ms. Cox is on administrative

leave from the college, but we can’t

reveal the details about her leave,”

Westergren said.

DMC President Dr. Carlos Garcia

also confirmed Cox’s status.

“We do not want to hear rumors

that (Cox) was fired,” Garcia said.

Neither Dr. Garcia nor Westergren

could comment on the reasons for

Cox’s administrative leave.

“Mrs. Cox is on administrative

leave and her contract expires on

Aug. 31, 2006,” Garcia said. “DMC

has a restructuring of the administration,

and it is normal to have several

employees leave for several reasons,

such as retirement, offers for a new

employment or just moving out from

the city.”

Garcia also said an employee can

be on administrative leave for several

reasons, but did not elaborate. He

also denied reports that the action

was not by a complaint Cox filed

with the EEO against a DMC administrator

last year.

Garcia said he could not discuss

any matter related to an employee’s

compliant. He noted that several complaints

are filed around the year and college

takes each one of those serious and

investigate them thoroughly.

Garcia, however, said Cox was “ is still

an employee for the college.”

The Foghorn tried to contact Cox for a

comment, but she was not available at the

press time.

Because of Cox’s absence, Equal

Employment Opportunity and affirmative

action matters concerning employees will

now be handled by Westergren, Garcia

said. Westergren’s office is the East

Campus Administration Building, HA 111.

Complaints involving students will be

directed to José Rivera, vice president of

Student Development, Garcia said.

Rivera’s office is in the Harvin Student

Center-East Campus
