One of the clear concerns of the police officer’s union is the concern that while Lt. Pike, Chief Spicuzza, and Officer Lee have all had their employment with the university terminated one way or another, no one from the administrative side of the aisle has. They write that they agree with the findings concerning Chancellor Linda Katehi, her leadership team, and their role and decisions surrounding the November 18, 2011. “There were indeed, “substantive mistakes at the administrative level,” they write. “The decisions made by Katehi’s leadership team during the days leading up to and on November 18th have caused long-term damage to the University of California and the UC Davis Police Department.” They note, “To this day, not one University Administrator has been demoted or terminated due to their decisions, which placed our police officers and the students of this university into an unnecessary and foreseeable confrontation.” The union adds, “What is troubling and ironic is that Lieutenant Pike had tried harder than anyone to prevent this confrontation from occurring, as evidenced from the investigations.”
