Most were there to protest the recent not-guilty verdict of two officers charged in the death of Kelly Thomas. There were also questions about why Police Chief Hughes felt it necessary to bring out the riot police and SWAT armored vehicle to shut down the Jan. 18th demonstration downtown which also drew about 400 people, and to demand that the fired officers not be rehired by the city. Chief Hughes assured the crowd that he would be vigorously defending his prior decisions in terminating the employment of officers Ramos, Cicinelli, and Wolfe. He also said that he is cooperating in the FBI investiga- tion of the three officers. He said riot gear became necessary due to the numerous online threats to bring explosives and guns to the protest, burn the police department to the ground, and kill police officers and their families. Police shut down the rally after a group of protesters assault- ed a news crew. More on page 8 An estimated 400 citizens came out on the streets of Fullerton to protest the not-guilty verdict and to send the strong message that such actions by police as took place in the July 2011 beating death of Kelly Thomas will not be tolerated.

Superior Court of California, County of Orange. 6 Feb. 2013. 17). 2 From the beginning, all news outlets have referred to Dorner’s text as a “manifesto,” often preceded by the word “rambling,” (a Google News phrase search for “rambling manifesto” yielded 1,860 articles at the height of the manhunt) though more often “angry” (3,930 articles). Labeling a document a “manifesto” is one way the media marks its author as mentally unstable, or, even worse, a lone voice yelling into the wilderness. Revelations of isolated lives spent in cabins, whether in the remote Mon- tana wilderness or the snow-capped mountains of Big Bear, CA, paint an image of an unhinged, anti-social individual wholly out of touch with reality, if not totally against it (the climactic self-inflicted gunshot wound provides ultimate confirmation of this). The Riverside Chief of Police articulated early on the portrait of a suspect both soli- tary and certifiable: “My opinion of the suspect is unprintable.

This is evidenced by the success stories of our Titans. The support of our student services professionals allow Titans to Reach Higher as they receive scholarships and awards, prepare for graduate school and enter their professional careers. Our assessment reveals that co-curricular involvement allows students the opportunity to develop as engaged, responsible citizens and leaders in our global society. We know lives are transformed because of our passion, commitment to our core values, and dedication to our strategic plan. Remarkable progress was made in 2014-2015 toward reaching our goals: GOAL 1 Our effective collaboration with Academic Affairs in forming a Student Success Team has significantly attributed to Strategic Goal 1 progress. Student Success Teams represent a true partnership between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs to retain and graduate all Titans in a timely manner. Student Success Initiative funds made possible the hiring of nine Graduation Specialists, nine Retention Specialists, and one Trainer to help with CSUF’s retention and graduation efforts. Increased overall CSUF six-year graduation rate past 60 percent, exceeding our 2018 goal already! GOAL 2 Retention efforts have also been reviewed and enhanced in collaboration with academic colleges and campus partners to support Strategic Goal 2. For example, we celebrated the one-year opening of the Titan Dreamers Resource Center, increased staff in our Diversity Initiatives and Resource Centers department, opened the Center for Scholars in the Pollak Library, and re-envisioned transition programs such as Welcome to CSUF Day, Orientation, and our Assistant Dean Program to better support student success and retention.
