The following statement was issued today by CSU Stanislaus President Hamid Shirvani regarding false allegations by state Senator Leland Yee:
“It is unfortunate that Senator Leland Yee is conveniently using a legal response from the University for further political gain. The fact is that the contract with the Washington Speakers Bureau to retain Gov. Palin is between the Bureau and the University Foundation. That is why in the response to the public records act request, our campus compliance officer stated ‘The University has no documents that are responsive to your request.’
