Shrinking marine layer:An upper-level ridge over the Rockies will slide westward over the next few days,
shrinking the marine layer and allowing temperatures to climb across the region. Dry weather should
remain as monsoonal moisture will remain well to the east of the area. The risk of wildfires will
increase as humidity decreases and temperatures rise.

SAN DIEGO —San Di-
ego State University Presi-
dent Adela de la Torre has
been accused by one of her
former deans of saying that
education leaders in Califor-
nia cannot obtain or keep
top jobs unless they pass a
left-leaning “political litmus
test.”
The accusation, which
De la Torre denies, was
made by Lance Nail, who
stepped down as dean of SD-
SU’s Fowler College of Busi-
ness in May, less than two
years after his high-profile
recruitment from Texas
Tech University, where he
was an innovation expert.
Nail said Monday that De
la Torre made the political
claim when he told her he
was leaving for a deanship at
the University of Texas Rio
Grande Valley.
At the time, he was will-
ing to consider staying at
SDSU, which hoped that he
would make the most of a
$25-million donation the
campus received to improve
the business school.
Nail claims that De la
Torre said, “If you’re not a
Democrat and you don’t
support unions, there will be
no place for you in education
in California.”
He added that “I was
shocked; you shouldn’t have
to pass a political litmus test
to keep a job.”
Nail said he believed that
De la Torre was talking
about him, even though he
had not disclosed his politi-
cal leanings.
“I ... unequivocally deny
that statement,” De la Torre
told the San Diego Union-
Tribune on Monday in a
statement. “Furthermore,
any sentiment that is exclu-
sionary to one group or iden-
tity is out of alignment with
my values.
“Diversity and inclusion
have been a focus and pri-
ority at every level during my
presidency, meaning I ap-
preciate the identities and
perspectives of every one of
our students, faculty and
staff. These values are re-
flected in our mission state-
ment, are strongly embed-
ded in our strategic plan-
ning process and under-
score how we approach one
another as community
members.”
Nail’s claim also elicited
surprise Monday from Ad-
am Day of San Diego, chair-
man of the board of trustees
in the California State Uni-
versity system.
“I find it difficult to be-
lieve that any campus leader
would say something like
this, and the alleged state-
ment strikes me as out of
character when it comes to
the personal values of Presi-
dent De la Torre,” Day said.
“There shouldn’t be a lit-
mus test for anyone in higher
education. It is antithetical
to the freedoms and diver-
sity of thought that we stand
for in higher education.”
Such a dispute hardly
seemed possible when Nail
arrived two years ago from
Texas Tech.
“Lance has an extraordi-
nary record of success im-
proving the national rank-
ings and increasing philan-
thropic giving at the uni-
versities he has served,”
Chukuka Enwemeka, SD-
SU’s provost at the time,
said in a public statement.
Little has changed. SD-
SU’s undergraduate busi-
ness program was ranked
87th nationally in 2019 by
U.S. News and World Re-
port.
And friction developed
between Nail and De la Tor-
re, who didn’t hire him.
On Saturday, Nail sent
De la Torre an email claim-
ing that people involved
with the university had been
telling him that the presi-
dent had belittled his service
as dean.
He was especially bo-
thered by the alleged claim
that he wasn’t an effective
fundraiser, and frustrated
that he wasn’t chosen to be
the university’s new provost.
Nail said that he didn’t
apply to be provost and that
he surpassed his fundraising
goals.
He also objected to the
implication that he did not
get along with key members
of San Diego’s business com-
munity.
“I do hope that what I
have heard about these
statements is a misunder-
standing or miscommunica-
tion and may simply be
cleared up with a clarifying
response from you,” Nail
wrote to De la Torre.
“However, I have person-
ally experienced you dispar-
aging former SDSU employ-
ees and I will not tolerate you
intentionally making known
incorrect statements about
me.”
SDSU said in a state-

CAMP PENDLETON —
Twelve Marines remain in
custody at Marine Corps
Base Camp Pendleton and
are facing charges related to
an alleged human smuggling
operation, the Marine Corps
said in a statement Monday.
On July 3, two Marine
lance corporals — Byron
Darnell Law II and David
Javier Salazar-Quintero —
were arrested by Border Pa-
trol on suspicion of trans-
porting unauthorized immi-
grants. Law and Salazar-
Quintero are assigned to the
1st Battalion, 5th Marine Re-
giment at Camp Pendleton.
Law and Salazar-Quin-
tero were charged in federal
court with transportation of
unauthorized immigrants
for financial gain and with
aiding and abetting. Both
also face military prose-
cution under the Uniform
Code of Military Justice, ac-
cording to Marine Maj.
Kendra Motz, a 1st Marine
Division spokeswoman.
Three weeks later, on July
25, 16 more Marines were ar-
rested during battalion for-
mation in connection with
the alleged smuggling oper-
ation and unspecified drug
offenses. A Marine spokes-
man described the arrests as
a “public display for the en-
tire unit to see.”
Two more Marines and a
Navy corpsman were also ar-
rested that day, according to
the Naval Criminal Inves-
tigative Service.
In Monday’s statement,
Motz said all but 12 of the
Marines have been released.
“There are currently 12
Marines from 1st Battalion,
5th Marine Regiment in con-
finement at Marine Corps
Base Camp Pendleton for al-
leged involvement in smug-
gling,” Motz said in an email.
“The remaining Marines
from 1st Battalion, 5th Mar-
ine Regiment who were
questioned or detained have
been released to their com-
mand. All personnel in-
volved are presumed inno-
cent until proven guilty.”
Further details about the
charges the Marines face or
the alleged smuggling oper-
ation were not available
Monday.
