A former administrator claims the University of Minnesota-Duluth discriminated against her based on her sexual orientation and disability.
In the lawsuit filed against the University’s Board of Regents in Hennepin County District Court last Wednesday, Angie Nichols — the former director of UMD’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Services — alleged that she experienced months of discrimination and faced retaliation after she raised concerns about the school not renewing the contracts of four openly gay or bisexual UMD women’s athletics coaches.
