COD faculty withdraw endorsement of Flores, say 'reluctant' to do so

GLEN ELLYN — Members of College of DuPage's Friends for Education announced Friday they were reluctantly withdrawing their endorsement of Frank Flores Jr. as a board candidate following the release of sexual harassment allegations against him, according to a news release from the faculty political action committee (PAC).

Flores was fired from the college in December 2010 after reports were filed against him regarding alleged incidents of sexual harassment, according to media reports.

Flores was working as an assistant aquatics manager at the time of the complaints, which included one from a patron who said he had made comments to her such as "I want to taste you" and "I pee'd in the pool," according to a College of DuPage (COD) Police Department report.
