Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread A former Post makes reference to Linda Katehi and (to my reading) may allude to the famous “pepper spray incident” being a result of her poor decisions as chancellor. Just for the record and in fairness to katehi we should keep in mind that she was never alleged to have “ordered the spraying of pepper spray” it just happened on her watch so she was rather charged as a NEGLIGENT SUPERVISOR of the davis cops who pulled out the pepper spray. Big difference! I know, too long ago and maybe irrelevant now, but the poor woman still deserves respect and accuracy over this one of the most sordid and bad memory events in UC Davis history.
