This is one of many, many, many examples of perjury by Athletic Director Cary Groth: 

•         General Counsel Mary Dugan:

         - "Patraw refused the contract offer made to her by AD Groth on August 22, 2007"

•         VP Human Resources:

         - "It is clear to me Groth had offered Patraw a contract"

         - "Groth did mention that there had been a new contract offer to Patraw"

•         Vice-Provost Janet Vreeland

         - "Well, they made Patraw an offer.  I was told she rejected it"

•         An Athletic Director at another University:

         - "I spoke to Groth . . . She stated she offered you a contract  and you turned it down" 

Here is Groth's testimony under oath in a deposition:

            QUESTION:    Had the August 2007 contract been extended to Patraw?

            GROTH:         No

Liar, Liar!  Groth knew that terminating someone a few days after offering them a multi-year contract and raise is irrational and retaliatory.  She lied under oath to conceal her retaliation. 

Also, the whistleblower decision was remanded after evidence of perjury, falsification of evidence, and concealment of documents by Athletic Director Groth was presented on appeal. 

Perjury is a category D felony for which a court shall sentence a convicted person to imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 1 year and a maximum term of not more than 4 years.
