Defendant Tung Pham, of San Jose, was a facilities and purchasing coordinator for San Jose State who was fired in 2020.

SJSU, the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts high school athletic association are cited as violators of President Trump's Feb. 5 executive order banning transgender athletes. The N.C.A.A. changed its position immediately, citing the President's order.

A federal judge on Monday ruled that the San Jose State volleyball player, who is at the center of a controversy over transgender athletes, can participate in a women’s volleyball conference tournament this week. An appeals court judge today rejected an appeal of that ruling.

Cal State officials are projecting a 2025-26 budget hole of about $400 million to $800 million and warning of layoffs and cuts to academic programs. San Jose State has cut $55 million the past two years, by not hiring new staff and avoiding replacing non-faculty job openings.

Two major forces are at play: Gov. Gavin Newsom scaled back his promise of increased financial support for Cal State, while university officials agreed to 5% salary increases earlier this year.

San Jose State University police initially responded at 5:18pm on March 31 to a fire on campus and determined that it had been set on purpose.

Scott Shaw's trial in U.S. District Court in San Jose on civil rights violations ended in a mistrial, but now he faces time in prison after pleading guilty.

The release of the report came on the day that jury selection began in the federal trial of former San Jose State athletic trainer Scott Shaw on federal civil rights charges, and also came less than a week after CSU trustees announced the appointment of a new chancellor, Mildred Garcia, effective Oct. 1.

Mildred García confronts a budget shortfall, declining enrollment and complaints about how Cal State officials have handled sexual misconduct allegations.

Under his May budget plan, Gov. Gavin Newsom wants the UC and CSU to get more state student housing in 2023-24, but the universities would have to borrow the money through bonds. The state would pay the interest on the bonds annually.
