Ex-University of Louisville Athletics Official Says She Was Fired for Reporting ‘Wrongful Conduct’

A former University of Louisville athletics official claims she was fired for reporting “wrongful conduct” within the athletics department, including that a U of L coach “was having an affair with a co-employee.”

That former employee has filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the university.

Here are more details from WDRB.com:

But a lawsuit filed on behalf of Maffet in Jefferson Circuit Court this week claims she was retaliated against in part because she learned a U of L coach (described only as “Coach 3”) “was having an affair with a co-employee,” violating the university’s sexual harassment policy.
