Hello Everyone,

As you may be aware, I opted not to renew the yearly contract for the former EEO officer, Ms. Theresa Cox. The basis for this action includes, but is not limited to, well documented incompetence, insubordination, and unprofessional conduct. A local television station aired a report that cast a negative light on my office regarding a lawsuit against the College. The allegations mentioned never occurred and I look forward to being fully vindicated. This is an attempt by an individual to discredit our institution while fleecing the taxpayers of Corpus Christi.

Please do not be distracted from the important work you do. Thank you for facilitating the success of our students and helping us achieve the mission of Del Mar College.

Carlos A. Garcia, Ph.D.
President

Carlos Garica is a liar. Gabe Rivas is to blame. Carlos Garcia should be put on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation.


Thankyou kenedeno for all your positive efforts.

carlos garcia made sexual advances toward howard karsh as well. Does carlos garcia prey on females or males? After all the allegations that are surfacing, it appears that carlos garcia is a horn dog.

This horn dog shouldn't go to jail but should be placed in a special hospital for treatment.

Garcia may indeed be a horn dog but don't forget about his horn dog apprentice gabe rivas.

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. ]



So Back then Carlos Garcia says COX wasn’t fired and NOW he Claims she was fired.

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

The Secretary of State cleared her to run.

I think these guys are going to learn a lesson or two....

from the attorney general down. The Secretary of State cleared Ms Garcia to run. If you read the AG opinion you will know what a crook this guy is when it comes to the little people. Carlos Valdez, I cant see how he would obtain Jurisdiction given there is no criminal act. This matter should be processed through existing administrative law.




A Voter Registration in Kleberg While Residing in Nueces?

The question is, which home was her domicile. I have been to her Apartment here in Corpus Christi, it sure looks like it is her primary residence.

I cannot imagine Carlos Valdez even having anything to do with this case, given his history with Mike Westergren and I am told with Joe Alaniz as well.

If Carlos Valdez prosecutes this lady, he is a fool.

I stand behind her.
