University of Minnesota associate women’s head golf coach Katie Brenny is ready to sue the U for discrimination she says she suffered once fellow coaching staff learned she is a lesbian, the Minnesota Daily reports. The paper says that “Brenny was disallowed from speaking to players about golf, traveling with the team or recruiting off-campus” during her two months as coach.

From the Daily:

Brenny is openly gay and has a female partner. When asked if the alleged discrimination involved director of golf John Harris not allowing Brenny to coach after learning she was gay, Mark said, “I think that’s accurate.”

“We’re still developing information and the facts surrounding all of this,” Mark said. “It appears to us that there was discrimination occurring, and that seems to be the only logical explanation as to why he acted in the manner in which he does.”
