University of Iowa to lay off ex-athletic official who sued

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The University of Iowa plans to lay off a former top athletic department administrator who is suing the school after her earlier reassignment to a job unrelated to sports.

Meyer's attorney, Jill Zwagerman, is seeking to block the termination from taking effect and says the move is further retaliation for Meyer's complaints about wage discrimination and gender bias in the department.
