Partner Eileen O’Hare-Anderson And Associate Attorney Yesenia Carrillo Convince ALJ To Uphold Termination Decision Of Faculty Member Who Was Unfit To Teach After Making A Threat In Class

The firm successfully represented a community college district in a faculty termination matter before the Office of Administrative Hearings. After an eight-day hearing, the Administrative Law Judge upheld the District’s decision to terminate the faculty member.

Eileen O’Hare-Anderson, partner, and Yesenia Carrillo, associate, both of the Fresno Office, presented compelling testimony from students who credibly confirmed that the faculty member made a threat in class, as well as testimony from affected employees, including the CEO.

The ALJ found that the faculty member had indeed made a serious threat and concluded that he engaged in immoral conduct, dishonesty, and was unfit to teach, affirming the District’s decision and resulting in a complete victory for the client.
