$2.25 Million Suit Filed Against EIU
- Thread starter HILLCYD
- Start date
U-Knew this was coming...Oh well it will keep at least some of those Uof I trained lawyers busy for a little while....:biglaugh:
Lost professional integrity?????? That'll get thrown out fast. He was working at EIU, there was no integrity to lose!!:biggrin:
I'm not even an attorney and I sniffed that one out right away.
Just wait until the sexual assault victim files her lawsuit. I don't know if she will, but she certainly has a good case and should be able to settle outside of court for millions.
By the time Mills, Jones and the victim get done with lawsuits, the Uof I (taxpayers) will be out multiple milllions of dollars in damages as will as multiple millions of dollars in lawyer fees (defense). This is in addition to the costs already realized. If Mason/Regents are smart, settling out of court will minimize the continued bad PR for the University and the state. Based on this lawsuit filing, it looks like they are in it for the duration...
Wonder if Mason's new bonus goals have any incentive clause to minimize damages paid...

This is true. Mills has so many U of I faculty, as well as lawyers around the state, vouching for his expertise and character. I wonder if Mason, prior to firing Mills and Jones, had to clear or justify this with anyone, or if it was just in reponse to the St. Louis firm's report.
Wow. Just when things started to quiet down a little bit from our neighbors to the east, something like this happens. Like someone said though, you had to have known this was coming. Things will definitely get worse before they get better in Iowa City.
She almost certainly will, but she won't do it until after the criminal trials of the two players. Everyone has forgotten about that since Iowa has won some football games, but it is still going to happen.
The Board of Regents had just hired Mason, so they had way too much invested in her to terminate her, especially since they had to hire her after an already failed search. So they allowed her to fire two of her direct reports and skate away. The hypocracy is sickening.
Even though it's we taxpayers who will ultimately pay the bill, I'm going to enjoy watching the university stew in their mess. They deserve everything they get.

I would have to agree, if that were to have happened at ISU you know that we would have suffered far worse consequences.
