Lawsuit served on Sacramento State seeking disclosure of public records re: removal of former Dean of Engineering

A petition for a writ of mandate has been filed in the Superior Court against California State University, Sacramento, asking the Court to compel CSUS to produce for inspection the non-retention memo (11-25-2013) and non-retention decision (01-23-2014) that served to remove Emir Jose Macari from the position of Dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science.

The dismissal of the Dean was an unusual and extraordinary event that The Sacramento Bee said was "cloaked in secrecy."

The State Hornet headlined an editorial on the event, writing: "Sacramento State must clear the air to students about decorated engineering dean Macari's leave."

The civil action filed with the Court includes a petition and a memorandum of law in support, with the facts of the case considered.

Emir Macari currently serves as the Dean of Engineering at the University of New Orleans (UNO).
