There was an interesting Order entered this week by the Kentucky Supreme Court. The case involved a lawsuit filed by a young lady that was formerly a track coach at the University of Louisville. While working at Louisville, the lady claimed that she was subjected to certain vulgar language and comments. The young lady also said that while working for the Louisville athletic department she was told that she needed to flirt with compliance officers to get approval for certain recruiting visits. When she asked for the improper behavior to stop, Jurich responded by firing her. The lady got an attorney and sued both Louisville and Jurich for gender discrimination, retaliation, and hostile work environment. The jury awarded the lady $300,000 for damages and $71,875 for lost wages. In addition, the University of Louisville was ordered to pay the lady's attorney fees in the amount of $149,325.

All I want to know is if this made the local news or the Courier- Journal in Louisville.
 
Amazing (yet not amazing) that this isn't a bigger scandal in this day and age. Hopefully a reporter who isn't on the take decides to write about this on a national publication...

This is interesting but not surprising. Business as usual at UL. Was she asked to take a motor scooter ride with Petrino?

Exactly and the answer is no. This is a bogus thread. I believe I heard this one a couple of years ago and yet no story was ever done proving what this board was saying. If it had happened, it would have been news. Nice try OP.

All the vulgar language or whatever aside...they basically have this female assistant track coach who is qualified (she was a college T&F all american?) and they ask her to bake cookies, decorate rooms and flirt? Um, ok. She complained about this.... and got fired. That's a problem. An illegal problem. She sued and she won. Just another example of the pathetic culture at UofL and hell, this is only Track and Field we're talking about. I honestly don't know how someone could be a female and a UofL fan. Even one of Jurich's "confidant's" Julie Herman was a freaking scumbag. Petrino, Pitino, player issues, discrimination in Olympic sports, illegal YUM Center deal, the scandal with Ramsey, etc. They sure are running things "the right way", aren't they?

So, the Kentucky Supreme Court publishes fake entries to their website?

In fairness, I can see why you are confused. There were, after all, 22 pages to read.

A brief summary: the coach won at trial, but UL won on appeal. The Supreme Court then ruled in the coach's favor on the emotional distress argument and lawyer fees.

Final score - $300,000 for the coach. Close to $150,000 for her lawyer.

The Supreme Court did strike the lost wages claim because they didn't think she produced evidence that she looked that hard for a job.

Apparently UL lawyers also billed 1,300 hours fighting the case. Brings the grand total to around $800,000. Just a drop in the chicken bucket.

Wow. Just wow. How does this scumbag still have a job? We have had high school ADs fired in my community for much less.

Just another day at the office for Jurich though.

More evidence of the giant delusional bubble in which UL fans live. As has already been pointed out, our state Supreme Court does not grant relief for bogus complaints. The reason this stuff persists is because the CJ has been totally negligent by failing to cover it.

I've been living in Louisville for 10+ years. The utter compliance/bowing/appeasing the media (both the paper and the news channels) does toward UL is sickening. One of the reasons I can't wait to get out of the city. It's essentially a small city run by a mafia (UL/Jurich) and all in the media are either forced to comply or are terrified to go against the UL-approved story-lines in fear of retaliation. Just how things seem to go around here and half the city are completely blind/choose to be blind/ignorant about it.

Hardly. Pardon me if I don't get my info from Insider Louisville. I don't even know what that is. You guys are scrapping the bottom of the barrel at this point. When it's in the CJ or on the local news or ESPN, we can have a discussion. Until then, I am done with this thread.

Just wow - it's on every single legal site there is for Kentucky. I threw the Insider on there as some of your fellow fans have quoted it often enough. But hey - you want to display obtuseness that's your business.

Have a nice day, sir.
