Good morning. It’s Monday, and these are the five USC, Los Angeles, and California stories you need to know for today.

1.

USC sold its outpost in Sacramento for $2.82 million to a local dentist, the Sacramento Business Journal reported. The 12,800-square-foot building previously hosted a Price degree program, but USC said the space is now “too large for our current use.” It’s unclear if the school plans to buy or lease a new space in the state capital.

2.

Carolyn Meltzer, the dean of USC’s medical school, had her gorgeous Eagle Rock home featured in a native plant tour of LA organized by a local nonprofit. “Friendly-faced monkeyflower will greet you, and Indian mallow blooms may ask for a dance as you travel up the colorfully tiled front walk,” reads the listing for Meltzer’s home.

3.

The Daily Trojan pulled an article it published last Wednesday which reported that a USC Bookstore manager discriminated against Indian employees. The paper wrote in a statement on Thursday that “claims made in the article require further investigation” after current and former employees questioned the reporting’s accuracy on Instagram.

4.

Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, dropped out of the race yesterday after four women accused him of sexual assault in bombshell stories by CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle. The Bay Area congressman says he’s innocent, but had quickly lost donors, endorsements, and staffers in the wake of the allegations.

5.

The Getty Center will close for a year of renovations starting next March in an effort to modernize the campus ahead of the 2028 Olympics, the New York Times reported. Getty officials said renovations will focus on the museum’s famous tram system, and that they’ll move select paintings to the Getty Villa during the closure.
