Philip K. Ireland of The North County Times wrote yesterday:
"Former MiraCosta College President Victoria Munoz Richart must testify under oath about her $1.6 million settlement agreement reached last summer in a closed-door meeting with college trustees, a Superior Court judge has ruled....
"In seeking the settlement, an attorney for Richart argued that her reputation was damaged when three trustees publically criticized her handling of an investigation into the illegal sale of palm trees from the campus's horticulture department.
"Page's attorney said the college should have challenged that notion.
"'When Richart made her claim, (college attorneys) should have investigated and defended (the college against) that claim in a zealous way,' Cozad said.
"'As we are doing now, they should have taken her deposition asking, "What did we do wrong? How were you damaged?" and "How did you calculate those damages?"'"
