Former UNR Coach's Whistleblower Complaint Dismissed

By Erin Buzuvis, Sudha Setty, and Kristine Newhall

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Nevada state personnel board conducted a hearing last month to determine whether University of Nevada-Reno violated whistleblower protection laws when it fired the women's soccer coach Terri Patraw last summer. On Thursday, the hearing officer dismissed Patraw's suit, finding insufficient evidence that she was fired for reporting NCAA violations that are currently under investigation by the NCAA. Patraw reportedly plans to appeal.

Patraw has also filed a separate lawsuit alleging that her termination was retaliatory for pointing out Title IX and NCAA violations. Her complaint also includes a sexual harassment claim. According to the Nevada Sagebrush, her lawyer "said that Nevada men?s basketball coach Mark Fox referred to Patraw as a lesbian and talked to other male employees about who Patraw was having sex with."
