Quote: "Jaime Contreras, who effective April 30, resigned from his position as director of student affairs."

"Contreras used "demeaning, derogatory racial or ethnic terms numerous times in the workplace," the investigators reported.

Contreras violated policies prohibiting discrimination and sexual harassment, and "corrective action" was needed, investigators concluded."
