A lawsuit has been filed by a former Cabrillo College student stating that Alex Taurke, a professor at Cabrillo College, sexually harassed and assaulted the student in May 2016. Cabrillo College has failed to comply with Title IX and has not provided proper trainings to staff and administration. Cabrillo College has failed to protect this student, and I am calling on Cabrillo College and the president/superintendent Dr. Laurel Jones to fire Alex Taurke. Taurke is scheduled to teach during Fall of 2017, which causes an unsafe environment for Cabrillo College students. Stand with the victim in this situation and call on Alex Taurke to RESIGN, or Dr. Laurel Jones to fire the professor immediately. Below I have attached links to the Santa Cruz Sentinel article and the filed complaint against Alex Taurke.
