Long-standing claims of sexual harassment and misconduct, homophobia, transphobia and racism on campus and during training cruises have plagued CSU Maritime according to a new report by the LA Times.
Dozens of cadets gathered at the Quad to tell President Thomas Cropper about the mistreatment. They said it was especially bad on training cruises, when they are at sea with their classmates and superiors for as many as 60 days.
One cadet accused administrators of failing to discipline students who called trans people "fags" and compared them to a castrated dog, the report said. Another discovered their motorcycle tires slashed and the word "dike" carved into the gas tank. One woman told The Times she dropped out of school to avoid seeing the man who raped her, as the campus investigation dragged on for months. And another student said she now carries a knife for protection after someone tried to coerce her into having sex.
Cal Maritime administrators said they have "strongly and repeatedly denounced" the misconduct and are trying to take steps to combat the problems.By clicking Sign Up, I confirm
