The student run newspaper takes note of the fact that former dean Emir Macari was a highly lauded CSU Sacramento executive. In that context, the editors continued:
"The circumstances leading to his dismissal remain mysterious and unclear, raising both curiosity and confusion. "Introducing a series of specific concerns, the Hornet wrote:
"With university officials remaining tight-lipped and mum on the issue, a deeper examination into Macari’s career and personal life reveals several cracks and question marks."The Hornet then recounted a series of recent events and concluded:
"Despite all of his well-doing, Macari’s background and history is rocky and worrisome. It raises questions to how those in power, particularly at Sac State, remain accountable to their constituents ... "The editorial recognizes that the University may have complex responsibilities, but it focuses on the idea that disruptive events remain disruptive if not aired in public and understood by its "constituents" (in this case, students).
The students' conclusion:
"The university’s position to remain quiet is admirable, but foolish ...
"this is the true test of academic integrity – whether an educational institution can remain honest in the face of adversity."
