The task force investigating the arrest of ethnic studies professor Antwi Akom has asked for more time to complete its investigation. Their findings were initially to be completed by Nov. 20.

“We’re giving them as much time as they need,” said Ellen Griffin, SF State director of public affairs. No timeline was given when the results would be available.

The task force, headed by former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown and former San Francisco City Attorney Louise Renne, was formed by SF State President Robert Corrigan to investigate whether racial profiling was involved in the arrest.

Akom was charged with assaulting an officer and resisting arrest after an altercation on the SF State campus around 11 p.m. on Oct. 25. Akom returned to campus to retrieve a book from his office, leaving his two children asleep in the car. A security guard and campus police confronted him as he entered the building and again as he left his office, requesting ID, according to the police report.

Akom’s pre-trial hearing is set for Monday, Dec. 5.
