Trial date vacated in Alex Gonzalez, Jr./Sacramento State sexual harassment lawsuit

The March 3, 2015 court date for civil trial assignment in the case against CSUS has been vacated.

As previously reported here, CSUS employee Jeffrey Sharp complained that he was sexually harassed by fellow employee Alexander Gonzalez, Jr., and also that the University was culpable for failing to prevent or stop the alleged abuse.

The defendant is the son of the soon-to-retire University President. 

A third mandatory settlement conference had been scheduled for February 6th, but was cancelled. 

It is expected that a settlement notice will be filed with the Court at some point in time. According to the civil complaint, the alleged improper behavior was first reported to CSUS in 2008.

A settlement agreement with a public entity is an open public record. If an agreement was reached,  it will be available by request from the University.
