The father of a former University of Kansas rower, who says she was raped by a football player in her dorm room, today revealed his daughter’s identity and with her joined a class action lawsuit against the university.
Jim McClure and his daughter Sarah McClure on Thursday joined the suit filed in the District Court of Douglas County in April by the parents of another rower, Daisy Tackett.
In the class action suit, Amanda and James Tackett claim the university violated the state’s consumer protection law by using “deceptive and false statements of safety” in reference to the campus and its dormitories when it recruited their daughter to the KU rowing team.
