The California Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether a California State University (CSU) employee must seek writ review of an adverse employment decision prior to filing a whistleblower suit.
The justices will review the Oct. 30, 2007 ruling of Runyon v. Board of Trustees of California State University.
Dr. L. Richard Runyon claims he was terminated from the chair of the Finance, Real Estate and Law Department of the College of Business Administration at CSU Long Beach in retaliation for his numerous complaints of alleged mismanagement by the college’s dean, Luis Ma Calingo. He filed suit under a whistleblower retaliation statute that applies specifically to CSU employees, according to Metropolitan News-Enterprise.
