The Chronicle: Jury Orders Fresno State U. to Pay Ex-Coach $5.85-Million in Discrimination Case
A jury has ordered California State University at Fresno to pay $5.85-million to a former women’s volleyball coach who sued the institution for sex discrimination.
Lindy Vivas coached the volleyball team from 1990 until 2004, when Fresno State opted not to renew her contract. University officials have said the decision was based on her “unwillingness to improve the volleyball program,” specifically its noncompetitive schedule, unsuccessful postseason performance, and low attendance at games, by their measure.
