Vols pay former employee settlement
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Former Lady Vols media director Debby Jennings has reached a $320,000 settlement in her lawsuit against the University of Tennessee and athletic director Dave Hart.
Jennings' suit alleged that Hart and other athletic officials wanted to remodel the athletic department as a "good ol' boys" club while replacing her with a younger man. Jennings was 57 years old when she left her job in May 2012 as the university worked toward consolidating the men's and women's athletic departments.
The suit also argued Hart retaliated against Jennings when she protested that Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt's diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's disease protected her from losing her job under the Americans With Disabilities Act. It indicated Jennings was forced out for opposing what she perceived as discriminatory actions taken by Hart against Summitt.
Tennessee still faces another discrimination lawsuit from former director of sports medicine Jenny Moshak and ex-Lady Vols strength coaches Heather Mason and Collin Schlosser. The plaintiffs say they performed similar tasks as employees who held similar positions for men's teams, but that they received less compensation either because of their gender or due to their association with women's teams.
You bunch of damn hillbilly rednecks!!
That's the best smack I got. Bring it!
