re: If Applewhite is out at Texas would you like to see him at LSU in some capacity?

In the article it stated another oach in the track program had a relationship with a student and was fired. His lawyer leaked this to the press before his lawsuit against UT goes to court.

I've defended employers against several similar EEOC claims. It's an interesting case. Her lawyer is arguing she was treated worse because she is a gay black female (talk about the perfect plaintiff for this type of case), but from the employer side I can see where there are differentiating factors. Applewhite had a one-time incident with a support staff member that was immediately reported, while Kearney had an unreported two-and-a-half-year relationship with one of her own team members. University policy apparently does not prohibit either type of relationship, but does require the professor/coach/whoever to report it.
