SAN JOSE, CA -- The aftermath of the recent San Jose State Student Student Initiative to restore a California State University (CSU) identity to the campus has resulted in the removal of a key SJSU administrator who campaigned against Initiative.

CSU student and alumni activists filed grievances with several state agencies after the vote, seeking investigation of possible violations of federal and state educational and civil rights laws by SJSU Associate VP of Marketing Jennifer Cauble and other SJSU officials. About a month later, Cauble mysteriously departed her position with the school without comment from the University with regard to the reason for her departure.

The Spartan Daily mentioned Ms. Caubles departure briefly, but characteristicly neglected any further reporting on an important issue for the school the Spartan Daily claims to cover in its reporting.

San Jose State's version of the Great Seal of California, showing its authentic 1862 year of establishment.

The Legislature created the California State Normal School, the institution that became both SJSU and the CSU system on May 2, 1862, a law which remains in effect to this day.  The San Jose campus recognized this date until about 1957, when a committee planning 1957 "cennential" celebration purported to change the school's time establishment to some unspecified date in 1857.  Historical documents indicate that the committee claimed it had the permission of the Legislature to make this change, but no evidence of this is cited.

The 1857 year refers to the year of establishment of a San Francisco evening high school class to train teachers.  According to historical accounts, the primary name of this high school class was the "San Francisco Normal School" but San Jose State supporters tend to refer to it as "Minns Evening Normal School."
