Former Redhawks men’s basketball coach Cameron Dollar alleges racial bias in lawsuit against Seattle University

Former Seattle University men’s basketball coach Cameron Dollar accused the school of racial bias, firing him without cause and failing to provide full compensation owed to him in a lawsuit obtained by the Seattle Times.

Dollar alleges he “experienced a pattern of harassing and discriminatory treatment from senior administrators.”

The lawsuit, which was filed Nov. 16 in King County Court, describes a falling out and series of disagreements with former SU athletic director Bill Hogan, who hired Dollar in 2009.

Dollar, 41, spent eight seasons with the Redhawks and compiled a 10-7-138 record. He was fired in March after Seattle U went 13-17 during the 2016-17 season and finished sixth in the Western Athletic Conference at 5-9.
