Tia Kiaku, 20, left the university in February before the end of her junior year

She filed a Title IX complaint after an assistant coach made the racist joke when he found three black gymnasts practicing together

Kiaku claims teammates also used the N-word in the locker room, and her concerns about racist behavior were dismissed

After she filed the complaint, coach Dana Duckworth allegedly called her mother to share a rumor that she was 'sleeping around'

After getting little support from her teammates, Kiaku decided to leave

If this is true, what an awful look for Duckworth.
