A jury trial for Chris Chuyen Vo, a former Cal State Fullerton employee charged with fatally stabbing another CSUF employee, Steven Shek Keung Chan, was scheduled for July 14 of 2023. Judge Sheila Hanson presided over the pretrial hearing at the Santa Ana Superior courthouse Friday morning. Vo’s pretrial has been delayed multiple times since his 2019 arrest. On Aug. 19, 2019, Chan was found in his car with fatal stab wounds and cranial bleeding. The Fullerton police responded to the 8:30 a.m. call and attempted resuscitation, but Chan was pronounced dead on the scene. Chan served as the director of budget and finance for Student Services and Extended Education since 2009 and retired in 2017. He returned to campus as a special consultant for the Extension and International Programs earlier in 2019. Prior to Chan’s death, Vo served as a full-time CSUF employee at the time and as Chan’s coworker. Vo was employed in the University Extended Education department in Budget and Finance. Vo will continue to be held in custody at the Theo Lacy Facility in Orange without bail until his trial.

As Cal State Fullerton continues to renovate and repair older structures, new housing is planned for the next phase of construction to accommodate more students. The first student housing units on campus were built in 1988 and will
be demolished after years of maintenance and safety issues. The cost for the new housing is estimated to be $180 million. Alexander Porter, vice president and chief financial officer for CSUF, said the older housing units, known
as the Cobb Residence Halls, are over 30 years old and have reached the end of their useful life. SEE CAMPUS

Coming in with a three-game winning streak, Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball suffered a 64-41 blowout loss against the No. 13 UCLA on Saturday at Pauley Pavillion arena. CSUF fell to 4-3 overall and 2-3 on the road.
This was the first matchup between the two schools since 2020. CSUF has now lost seven straight matchups against UCLA, dating back to 1992. Guards Una Jovanovic and Fujika Nimmo were CSUF’s leading scorers with 15 and 10 points, respectively. However, both players struggled to find a rhythm offensively as the backcourt duo each shot an
inefficient 3-15 from the field. UCLA was led by guard Kiki Rice, who finished with 14 points, three rebounds and three steals. Following Rice was the team’s leading scorer in guard Charisma Osborne, contributing 13 points, three rebounds and two assists. In a game where both squads shot the ball poorly, UCLA overcame their shooting woes by dominating
the glass as they finished with a season-high 60 rebounds to CSUF’s 16. As a result of winning the rebounding battle, UCLA scored 13 second chance points while CSUF scored none. UCLA took advantage of the lack of size of CSUF’s roster in the paint area and scored 40 points in the paint compared to CSUF’s 10. Despite being severely outplayed, CSUF forced 27 UCLA turnovers and scored 25 points off of them. CSUF opened the contest with a 12-2 deficit in the first quarter. They were able to cut it to single digits following baskets from forward Aixchel Hernandez and Jovanovic to trail 14-6 at the end of the first. CSUF’s offensive struggles from the first quarter carried into the second where they were outscored 17-6. UCLA’s Rice and Osborne scored a combined 13 points in the quarter. Leading 31-12 at halftime, UCLA continued to be the enforcers in the third quarter where they outscored CSUF 20-14. Their lead expanded by 25 points en route to a blowout win. CSUF will be back at Titan Gym on Saturday to host California Baptist University at 6 p.m. FOLLOW US: @THEDAILYTITAN
