USC's Star Chamber Proceedings
Meet David Reyes (he/his/him) the crack USC EEO-TIX investigator who has been investigating me for at least 13 months. Here are the charges that he says are serious enough to keep me in a cage for 13 months:
That he told someone in “the early 2010s” that she “look[ed] like a
Real Housewife of Atlanta”;
That he “offensively” told a pharmacology doctoral candidate that
she had “high school writing”;
That he commented in 2020 on LinkedIn that Vietnamese rats did
not have Covid-19 and that “Vietnamese” eat rats;2
That he made culturally insensitive comments to a student;
That he made culturally insensitive comments in an email to “USC faculty members” relating to the COVID-19 pandemic;
That he referred to another faculty member as “having a ‘nice nazi name’”; and
That “on various occasions,” he “made comments to [colleagues] to the effect of ‘f**k you all’ and ‘f**k off.’”
Regardless of the fact that none of these charges have any substance, he has decided after 13 months that they will haul me before a USC Star Chamber shortly.
Let’s look at the due process they have given and will give.
I am not allowed to face my accusers.
I am not allowed to respond to the charges in front of a jury of my peers.
I am not allowed to call witnesses to support my views and presentation of the facts.
I am not allowed to present my case to the public
I have to sit in a small closet (rubber room) for the rest of my life because of these trumped up charges.
This is what we call a “University” an “Institution of Higher Learning” an
”Ivory Tower” a sheltered and protective place where differences in ideas and thought are tolerated and encouraged.
I call the University of Southern China a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization under the leadership of USC Board of Directors Chair, Rick Caruso, who’s now running for LA Mayor. I’m sure Caruso will also successfully turn the LA city government into a RICO Act violation. He sure as hell doesn’t give a crap about academic freedom, honesty or the truth.
