The following is from David Daleiden, who was recently banned from Pomona College for videotaping a public lecture. Here is what Claremont McKenna Dean Fid Castro is alleged by David to have said about helping Kyle and David get unbanned from Pomona College. From David
"You have no right to be on Pomona's campus. You have no more right to walk across Pomona's campus than you do to walk through someone's living room. You have no contractual agreement with Pomona college; you are not a student at Pomona; you have no more rights at Pomona than an individual walking his dog down the street."He also said, "I don't know what Pomona's policies are [regarding free speech].Basically, I was told that Dean Castro has no reason to defend me or Kyle Kinneberg against the unjust, draconian actions that Pomona College is levying against us."

Perhaps they should tell that to visiting prospies during the "it's great to be in a consortium" section of the tour.
Technically, it's true. Deans (at 5Cs other than Pomona) have banned students for being transported (alcohol and/or drugs) from their parties. They've banned them for all kinds of things, including major things and including (relatively) minor things. Each college is its own property, and technically students from the other colleges don't have a *right* unless they're enrolled in a class. One of the colleges even arrested a student for trespassing, because he wasn't at his home campus and wouldn't listen to the deans.
As always, not saying I agree or disagree with Pomona's particular actions here. Just saying, there's precedent, and the CMC deans are factual in what they said.
In my time at CMC, I had more than a few run ins with Fid.
I can tell you: he is one of the dumbest, most spineless lackeys I've ever meet. Only Ethan Andyshack, the biggest cretin I've ever seen, is worse.
Fid is an idiot. I'll never donate to CMC while he's there.
CMC needs to stop hiring its own fucktard alumni who couldn't get real jobs and putting them in charge of students
I will never donate another nickel to CMC with this gutless twit Castro employed there. This situation is enraging. I will be sending a letter to Pres Gann expressing my outrage at this weasel and ensuring her that no more donations will be coming.
Charles, David, and Kyle,
I implore you to create the following Facebook group:
Fire Fid Castro!
I'm glad to see an emerging (anonymous) consensus that Fid is a weak and incompetent agent of CMC.
If some of us weren't still relying on a clean Dean's rec for grad school, I think there would be more venom, and it wouldn't be anonymous.
