Joe A Ortiz (National Civil Rights Director, American GI Forum) Writes Letter to the Caller Times (and it got published)
Should step down
We know that Del Mar College President Carlos Garcia is responsible to the Board of Regents. However, President Garcia should be more responsible to the public. His actions are compromising education at Del Mar.
Del Mar President Garcia should relinquish his position until the present investigation is completed.
The board is doing a disservice to the public by keeping Del Mar President Garcia as president while there is a cloud of suspicion and his integrity is being questioned and investigated.

Verdict: Trustee of scholarship foundation didn’t besmirch VP of finance
The vice president of finance for Del Mar College could not convince a Nueces County jury that a scholarship foundation trustee defamed him. At a board of regents meeting, Gaylord Hoyt said Joe L. Alaniz misstated where the interest from scholarship funds had been going and then after the meeting, wrote Del Mar’s president and told him that Alaniz was skimming it off the top. Alaniz sued for libel and slander and Hoyt argued that he did not mean to imply that Alaniz was pocketing it, he just wanted documentation of what accounts Alaniz was putting the interest in. The jury rendered a defense verdict on Oct. 21.

NUECES COUNTY - A local construction firm is suing Nueces County over the way the county handled contract negotiations for the Heritage Park Fairgrounds in Robstown.
Fulton Coastcon and Zachry-Teal Construction companies submitted proposals to build a 140,000 square foot covered arena. At the Dec. 20 commissioner's court meeting, both proposals were supposed to be read aloud, along with the cost, and then the project committee was suppose to make their recommendation.
Fulton Coastcon representatives claim the county purchasing agent didn't allow its project cost to be read aloud. Zachry-Teal won the bid. Their cost was about $100,000 more than Fulton's.
