Court rules against UNC's Anson Dorrance

Posted Apr 10, 2007

A federal court ruled Monday that a former UNC-Chapel Hill soccer player should have a trial of her claims that coach Anson Dorrance sexually harassed her and the university failed to respond properly to her complaints. The ruling by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., comes more than eight years after the plaintiff, Melissa Jennings and her teammate, Debbie Keller, sued Dorrance and the university.
