Appeals Court Dismisses Coaches' Discrimination Suit

Jason Scott Headshot

A Minnesota state appeals court dismissed a lawsuit filed by three former coaches at the University of Minnesota Duluth who had alleged they were discriminated against on the basis of their gender and sexual orientation. 

The Minneapolis StarTribune reports that the three coaches — former women’s hockey coach Shannon Miller, former softball coach Jen Banford, and former women’s basketball coach Annette Wiles — filed their lawsuit in district court in March 2018. In December 2014, Miller and Banford were told their contracts would not be renewed, and in June 2015 Wiles said she was forced to resign.
