LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees today announced that they plan to tackle issues involving sexual harassment and bullying “head on” to protect the district’s employees and students.

On Wednesday, the board voted unanimously to instruct Chancellor Francisco Rodriguez to prepare a report with a list of every complaint of sexual harassment or bullying involving employees and students in the last five years, including where each reported incident occurred, details of each report and disposition of each complaint.

The chancellor’s report is scheduled to be delivered in 60 days.

“The information we receive will form the basis for our deliberations as we formulate new policies,” said trustee Andra Hoffman, who authored the motion calling for the report.

Hoffman said she will “continue to press for policies that will guarantee those who are targets of harassment or bullying that they can report the incidents with the knowledge that there will be full investigations, there will be appropriate responses and there will be no fear of retaliation.”

Hoffman said the trustees committed themselves to have a special presentation by an expert in the field to talk about how to deal with bullying, harassment and violence in the workplace.

“I think the time is right for us to make sure every employee and student in this district is protected against harassment of any kind and against bullying,” Hoffman said. “In recent months, I have been told of two situations that are of particular concern. One involved a charge of sexual harassment at one of our campuses and that the person making the charge was first offered a bribe to drop the charge and later was threatened if she didn’t drop the charge. The other involved what appears on the surface to be a false accusation of sexual harassment that may be intend to influence a hiring decision. I will deal with each of these specific issues separately and through other channels to make sure they are thoroughly investigated and properly dealt with.”

Earlier this year, Hoffman called for the LACCD board to formally sanction then-board President Scott Svonkin for allegedly engaging in a pattern of verbal threats and written harassment since she was elected to the Board of Trustees two years prior.

During a closed session board meeting on March 8, her resolution said, Svonkin “yelled at me in a threatening manner claiming I was staring at him and if I did not stop I would be dismissed from the room.”

At a June 7 board meeting, she said Svonkin stood over her, put his face close to hers, and shook his finger saying she’d made the “biggest mistake of her political career” — adding that she’d “never be elected to political office again.”

The tongue lashing was so severe, she said, that LACCD Chancellor Francisco Rodriguez walked over, put his hands on Svonkin’s shoulders, and reminded him that “we were in public,” and asked that he “cease his behavior,” Hoffman’s resolution said.

In Svonkin’s written response to Hoffman’s call for sanction, which he termed “a negative and politically charged smear attack,” he said:

“One very important thing you need to know is while I might not always be the most eloquent or artful speaker, know that my heart, my passion, my high-energy and the values that inspired me to run for this office, are what drive me every day. It is unrelenting zeal and a boundless commitment to protecting taxpayers and our students.”
