Ukiah, CA — Mendocino College is committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for our students, employees, and the broader community. This commitment guides every action we take as an institution.

On November 20, 2025, Mendocino College was informed that Jason Davis, a faculty member, was taken into custody by the Ukiah Police Department on charges involving unlawful conduct with a minor. Mr. Davis is presumed innocent until proven guilty. While the College cannot discuss personnel matters or share details related to ongoing investigations, we can confirm that Mr. Davis was placed on administrative leave when the initial allegations surfaced. This step was taken in accordance with College policy and reflects our priority to ensure the safety and well-being of our campus community while the College conducts its own internal review.

Mendocino College is fully cooperating with law enforcement as this matter proceeds. Because this is an active legal case, the College will not be providing further comment at this time.
