Case against Anson Dorrance may reach Supreme Court

Posted Jul 18, 2007

A nine-year-old sexual harassment lawsuit against UNC women's soccer coach Anson Dorrance could be headed to the highest court in the land. Lawyers in the state Attorney General's Office filed a petition last week with the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case originally brought by former UNC-Chapel Hill soccer player Melissa Jennings. Jennings claims that Dorrance sexually harassed her and the university failed to take appropriate action. (Raleigh News & Observer)
