A former Kansas golfer is seeking damages from the university after claiming that she became sick because of the living conditions at Jayhawker Towers on campus.
In a lawsuit filed first in Sedgwick County and then transferred to Douglas County, Laine R. Evans — a Wichita resident who graduated from Maize South — said that mold in her room caused “persistent sinus and upper respiratory symptoms, night sweats, fatigue and nausea” in the 2015 fall semester.
The suit states that Evans was seen by an athletic trainer and student health services multiple times before having a tonsil removed over Christmas break.
