Former Associate Athletic Director Jane Meyer won her case in civil court versus the University of Iowa for sexual orientation and gender descrimination (plus retaliation & unequal pay) this past April or May. Rather than get pummeled in court again, Iowa University settled with former women's field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum in May or June. Had to think it was better this way rather than get hammered in the court again and have all that bad publicity, in particular beings early reports were they planned to appeal.
Still wonder if they accomplished their mission to end this ASAP & bury it to avoid negative publicity. Although I think it demonstrates an unwillingness to stand up for this year's mantra, "Fight for Iowa". I guess they'll fight for Iowa unless they know they'll lose in court.
