The illegal spending habits of President Priscilla Slade of Texas Southern University were exposed by three students.
Slade was indicted and agreed to pay back part of the almost $5 million she had used for home improvements and clothing.
This is news because most people in power get clean away with their wrongdoing. The person in power destroys the livelihoods and reputations of the whistleblowers, and the public is left believing that the whistleblowers were disgruntled troublemakers who were causing problems for good leaders.
In the Priscilla Slade case, the three students who exposed her wrongdoing were expelled from the school and arrested.
In San Diego, schools that have Dan Shinoff as their lawyer exhibit similar behavior. The list of people who have been fired for exposing wrongdoing is long, including Mary Anne Weegar and Coach James "Ted" Carter. Examples of complainers who were arrested are David Alberts and Claudia Houston (that I know of). But the list of people that Shinoff tried to get arrested is even longer: Lindsey Stewart, Julie Hatoff (during the Victoria Richart scandal at MiraCosta College), and me.
Happily, the Priscilla Slade case ended differently. A federal jury has decided that school officials had retaliated against the three students, William Hudson, Justin Jordan and Oliver Brown. Next week the jury will decide on punitive damages.
Score one for the justice system.

You are correct Ms. Larkins there is no protection for whistleblowers and the perpetrators work very hard to convince everyone that the whistleblower is a nut and disgruntled troublemaker.
We don’t have to look very hard to find the effects of criminal activity. As I recall in a magazine, San Diego is portrayed as the city with the largest hump and pump white-collar crimes in the country. San Diego would not have earned this reputation if we actually have a District Attorney that prosecuted “white-collar” criminals! In fact these criminals are buddy, buddy with our very own DA Bonnie Dumanis.
Talk about corruption at the highest level with Daniel Shinoff teaming up with Bonnie Dumanis to arrest the so-called troublemakers who want to expose the illegal arrests in San Diego. Many innocent people are arrested and some even charged with felonies for $305 dollars or less with no proof of wrongdoing at all.
The Juvenile system has put hundred of kids there with false information from school districts who want to get rid of the kids of the so-called troublemaker [their parents.]
Bonnie Dumanis looks the other way while her ally Daniel Shinoff spends millions of dollars of public funds charging and arresting parents and students without proof of any wrongdoing.
San Diego has to be one of the most corrupt justice systems in America with Bonnie Dumanis at the helm there will be no justice in San Diego. One could say San Diego is Danny and Bonnie’s crib, a web of corruption and a history of theft of public funds.
Maybe you should post the picture of the former president of Texas Southern University Priscilla Slade. Place it back to back with Sinoff's and Diane crosier's mansions.

I say pretty close in value when you consider the real state value of these fellows.
