Tennessee says women in Title IX lawsuit made 'salacious' claims

Article here. Excerpt:

'The University of Tennessee accused the plaintiffs in their Title IX lawsuit of repeatedly publishing "irrelevant and incorrect (if salacious) allegations intended to inflame the passions of journalists and sports fans alike."

UT's filing came in a memorandum last week in support of the university's motion to dismiss the lawsuit or transfer the case to federal court in Knoxville instead of Nashville.

Eight Jane Doe plaintiffs are accusing UT of creating a hostile sexual environment that led to assaults and then using an adjudication process that is biased in favor of athletes. UT pushed back in a 68-page memorandum and asked federal Judge Aleta Trauger to either transfer the venue to the Eastern District of Tennessee of throw out the case entirely.'
