The lawyer representing the recently fired College at Brockport chief diversity officer said the campus police chief reached out to a former colleague of Dr. Cephas Archie on Friday.

This all started when Brockport's president's office said it received an anonymous voicemail that claimed to have information about a former employee, now believed to be Dr. Archie.

It led to Brockport College Police Chief Dan Vasile phoning Dr. Sabrina Lewis, who used to work at Houston Community College with Archie before he came to Brockport.

Lewis said Vasile told her that he'd learned Archie had fired her. However, Lewis said that was not true, and that Archie was not her supervisor and had nothing to do with her status at HCCV.

Lewis said in a statement that it was obvious to her Chief Vasile wanted dirt on Dr. Archie.

"He said he thought I had information for him, and I told him I didn't have information for him accept that Dr. Archie was a good guy. A wonderful guy. We partnered together. So if you were calling to get information or you needed me for a witness, I wouldn't be the right person because I don't have information to share."

The inquiry from Vasile ended shortly after that.

Archie's attorney said in a statement:

"It is yet another example of what needs to be fixed at the College at Brockport."

Late Monday afternoon, the president ordered the Brockport College police chief to end the inquiry. In a statement the college said:

"Our own review revealed that since this employee no longer works for the College and the allegations pre-date their employment, the inquiry should not have occurred."

This episode happened three weeks after Archie’s dismissal from Brockport College. Student protests followed and a vow from SUNY's chancellor to get to the bottom of what's happening with diversity at Brockport.
