A high-profile lawsuit filed by a former soccer player against Westminster University last year has been tossed out — but the dismissal was not based on whether there was merit to her sexual harassment and hazing allegations.
A Utah college soccer player sued over an ‘initiation ritual.’ Her case was just dismissed — over a technicality.
Kehl also failed to respond to the court’s request asking about her intentions on moving forward, Barlow said. He dismissed the case without prejudice, meaning she can refile later if she does find an attorney. LeBlanc is a Westminster alumnus who played for the men’s soccer team, according to his biography on the school’s website. He has coached the college’s women’s soccer team the entire time it has existed andHe has worked in the Utah attorney general’s office since 2010; initially, when the lawsuit was filed, he was placed on leave while the office internally investigated the allegations.
Title IX law, the school said in its filing, “does not require ‘flawless investigations or perfect solutions.’”
