""We are grateful for the honest conversations and mutual goodwill that brought us to this resolution," Gallegly, who represented Ventura County from 1987 to 2013, said Monday in a joint statement with CLU president John Nues. "We have confidence in CLU's leadership, its stewardship of philanthropic contributions, and its ongoing dedication to civic engagement and educating the next generation of public servants and leaders.""
""The idea for the center came about in 2012, after CLU asked Gallegly if he would donate his political papers to the university and make them publicly accessible for archival research. Court records show that the university and Gallegly verbally discussed plans to build the center, which would include a replica of the congressman's office, on CLU's campus. They also agreed to launch a public service fellowship and speaker series and to digitize Gallegly's archive.""
""The details of the settlement are confidential. But it concludes a years-long clash between Gallegly and CLU over the establishment and management of the Elton Gallegly Center for Public Policy and Civic Engagement. Gallegly filed a lawsuit against CLU in 2021 and, according to court records, coordinated a public pressure campaign against Lori Varlotta, CLU's former president, who resigned last year.""
Elton Gallegly and California Lutheran University reached a confidential settlement that ends a four-year legal dispute over the Elton Gallegly Center for Public Policy and Civic Engagement. Gallegly filed suit in 2021 and led a public pressure campaign tied to the resignation of former CLU president Lori Varlotta. Plans discussed in 2012 included donating 450 cubic feet of political papers, building a center with a replica office on campus, launching a public service fellowship and speaker series, and digitizing the archive. The signed 2012 deposit agreement and 2017 gift agreement did not obligate CLU to digitize materials or implement the other discussed plans. Gallegly helped raise nearly $1 million for the center.
