Texas State University terminated the chair of its radiation therapy department after The Texas Tribune raised questions about how he was using bone marrow registry program donations.
The personnel documents show the termination of Reynaldo “Ronnie” Lozano’s employment was effective Dec. 16. The school’s board of regents will officially approve that decision at its meeting held Thursday and Friday.The university system launched an investigation into Lozano on Nov. 4, one week after the Tribune submitted an open-records request for the financial records of a group he oversaw called Texas State’s Cancer Advocacy Movement for Colleges and Outreach, or CAMCO.
CAMCO bank statements and Lozano’s university emails that were provided to the Tribune showed that from January 2019 to May 2020, Lozano was spending the money in the account for his personal use. Local cancer care centers, including St. David’s HealthCare, Texas Oncology and the Austin Radiological Association, had provided annual donations to the group for multiple years. A St. David’s HealthCare spokesperson confirmed to the Tribune the organization has donated $55,000 to CAMCO since 2012.
It’s unclear how much of the money deposited in the account Lozano used for himself or if he was depositing personal money into the account.
