Several former members of Women of Chapman (WOC) left the fundraising organization that supports Chapman University due to differences in opinion regarding school policy and the retirement of John Eastman, the university’s former dean of law, who left the school after speaking at the Jan. 6 “Save America” rally in Washington.

Orange County resident Anne Manassero, past president and board member of WOC for more than 18 years, told The Epoch Times that things began to unravel for her and others when she tried to find out the details surrounding Eastman’s retirement.
