San Diego Community College District statement on allegations of sexual misconduct involving César Chávez

March 18, 2026 | San Diego Community College District

The San Diego Community College District is aware of emerging allegations of sexual misconduct involving César Chávez, a labor leader who has deep ties within California and the San Diego community. These reports are deeply concerning, and our thoughts are with everyone impacted. SDCCD is committed to providing a safe, respectful environment for all, and we do not tolerate sexual misconduct or abuse of any kind.

At this time, the District is reviewing its planned participation in César Chávez Day activities as well as its broader connection to Chávez, including the naming of the César E. Chávez Campus in Barrio Logan. As we assess current and new information, SDCCD will prioritize feedback from our community and upholding our values of safety, dignity, and respect for all.
