Same Dirty Tactics, Different University
Two coaches at Florida Gulf Coast complained about gender inequities in the athletic department. Here is a quick excerpt from their story:
The coaches sued the University for retaliation for complaining about gender inequality in violation of Title IX.
When the media began questioning the university about the allegations the school released the coaches personnel files, including the allegedly false performance reviews, to the public.
Plaintiffs also alleged defamation for releasing false information to the public.
The university claimed one of the coaches was having an inappropriate relationship with a student manager.
The parties settled before trial for $3.4 million.

These universities use the same dirty tricks to intimidate and defame coaches who have the courage to stand up to misconduct in their athletics departments. What a disgusting display of leadership in higher education.
