RALLY DEMANDING ACTION TO BE HELD IN UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO CORRUPTION CASE

A public demonstration to bring attention to the criminal corruption case pending against the University of Nevada Reno has been set for Friday, October 30, 2009, at Noon in front of the Second Judicial District Court, 75 Court Street, Reno, Nevada.

Outraged citizens and the community have rallied together to demand truth and transparency in an ongoing battle to bring officials at UNR before a Washoe County Grand Jury on corruption and other criminal charges. If reasonable evidence was brought forth, the District Court was ordered by the Supreme Court to impanel the Grand Jury.  The decision of Judge Steinheimer in this matter is anxiously awaited by all concerned, including the student community at UNR.

“This is not just an airing of dirty laundry.  Officials at UNR have been able to avoid a real investigation for too long, said NSLEOA President Ron Cuzze.

Impaneling the Grand Jury will insure that the truth comes forward and those responsible for criminal acts and corruption at UNR are held accountable.”  

The Nevada Law Enforcement Officers' Association represents members working for the University of Nevada Reno Police Department, as well as sworn officers in state service throughout Nevada.  In addition to the NSLEOA, organizations supporting the request for a Grand Jury investigation of UNR are the Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers (NAPSO) and the Reno Outreach for Animal Rights (ROAR).
