Student Suing Notre Dame for Discrimination, Harassment

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WOWO): A Notre Dame student is suing the university for racial discrimination, sexual harassment and negligence.

The student claims he was pressured into a sexual relationship with the daughter of a female academic coach. According to the lawsuit, the relationship included arranging for liaisons, interrogating the student about the nature, frequency and quality of the sex, harassing and pressuring and threatening the student to remain in the relationship when he tried to end it.

The student says the employee used her position to initiate similar situations with other African-American male students, including members of the University's football and basketball teams. The South Bend Tribune reports a Notre Dame spokesman said the University was aware of the lawsuit and denied any wrongdoing.
