Soraya M. Coley (born November 25, 1950)[2] is an American academic and university administrator who is the sixth president of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona). Prior to this appointment in January 2015,[3] Coley was Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at California State University, Bakersfield. Coley is the first Cal Poly female president. She holds a A.B., Sociology, The Lincoln University, an M.A., Social Planning and Social Research, Bryn Mawr College, and a Ph.D., Social Planning and Policy, Bryn Mawr College.
In 2022, a whistleblower lawsuit alleged that Coley interfered with police work and the legal process multiple times on the Cal Poly Pomona campus.[4] Among the most notable of these alleged occurrences were a series of blockages that slowed investigation into an embezzlement of over a million dollars[5] and the premature closure of a 2021 sexual assault case.[6]
