Iowa athletics staffer files discrimination suit vs school
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former Iowa senior associate athletic director Jane Meyer has filed a discrimination lawsuit against the university, claiming athletic director Gary Barta attempted to derail her career.
The school also disputes Meyer's description of her new role as a project manager in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, saying Meyer is receiving the same salary she was prior to the move.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights notified the university in May that it is investigating the handling of gender bias complaints against Barta involving his treatment of female coaches and athletes — an investigation that arose from a complaint filed by four of Griesbaum's former players.
