Priest Fired for Gross Misconduct in Union City Program
Tensions flared as Father Cowan clashed with John Harris the new program manager after Harris claimed Cowan talked nonsense. Cowan had earlier fired Harris as an instructor. About 15 students picketed the training center in Menlo Park in Cowan’s support while ten instructors split. Cowan and instructor George Bullis were terminated, with Gayman alleging Cowan undermined policies and harassed staff. Union City officials questioned a rapid separation and urged a cautious transition with possible management support from the Menlo Park center. ACAP officials said Cowan has not exhausted grievance procedures, delaying any new channel.
