Louis M. Cruz, Former LBCC Construction Manager, Convicted, Served Time in Texas for Felony Conspiracy to Commit Bribery

Officials at Long Beach City College say they do not screen employees of private contractors, such as Cordoba and Gateway.

At Long Beach City College, Cruz oversaw construction of a new fitness center, an academic building and other projects.
That "academic building" would be the South Quad Complex:
