Suit against Anson Dorrance revived
Posted Jul 14, 2006
North Carolina women's soccer coach Anson Dorrance cut reserve goaltender Melissa Jennings in 1998 saying she was out of shape, but as a legal opponent she's showing remarkable endurance. Jennings sued Dorrance for sexual harassment eight years ago. Her federal lawsuit was dismissed, and her appeal was rejected. But a surprising decision by the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has given new life to the case, perhaps in response to a dissenting opinion that found strong merit to Jennings' complaint.
