A former UCLA Spirit Squad director is asking a judge to set aside findings that led to her 2019 dismissal after a Title IX investigation of her role in allowing a donor to escort UCLA dance team members to a live show in Las Vegas in 2018.


quote:

Mollie Vehling brought the petition Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court against the regents of the University of California and the UCLA Title IX Office.




Apparently Ms. Vehling was fat shaming the cheerleaders.

Vehling was accused of directing a half-dozen members of the squad to accompany former state Sen. Alan Robbins to the “Absinthe” show at Caesars Palace in November 2018 while the team was in Las Vegas for a men’s basketball tournament.

quote:

When notified via text from part-time squad coach Tiphanie McNiff, who was messaging with a Spirit Squad captain at the “Absinthe” show that some students were uncomfortable with the show, Vehling texted that they should leave immediately with a friend, the petition states.

I would think the text messages are verifiable. If everything in the petition is true, it appears like the squad director got screwed, especially if attendance was voluntary.

Absinthe was a dirty-arse show.

Hey girls, our creepy big donor wants to take some of you all to a creepy Vegas show. It is completely voluntary, however, if he stops donating, we will no longer have a spirit squad or have to start traveling to competitions on an old school bus

“Respondents improperly abused the … Title IX investigation and adjudication procedure in order to find Mollie Vehling responsible for sexual harassment of Spirit Squad members due to Alan Robbins’ alleged conduct in Las Vegas, while at the same time clearing Alan Robbins of sexual harassment for that same conduct,” the petition alleges.


Well he is a California Democrat so obviously he can’t be guilty of sexual harassment

Absinthe is a bit dirty, but its a very entertaining show. I dont see why college students would feel uncomfortable

I've seen it several times. One of my favorites.

But I could see why a college-aged woman attending with a drunk older man in a position of power that she doesn't know that well might feel uncomfortable.

I could also see a lot of kids at smaller private Christian schools (obviously not UCLA) being generally uncomfortable.

I'd guess having to "escort" a 75 year old man was a big issue.
