Case Number: 98-3951

Judge: Siler

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit

Plaintiff's Attorney: Seymour R. Brown, Cleveland, Ohio, for Appellant.

Defendant's Attorney: Elizabeth M. Stanton, CHESTER, WILLCOX & SAXBE, Columbus, Ohio, for Appellee.

Description: Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and Title IX, plaintiff Denise Klemencic filed suit against defendants Ohio State University ("Ohio State"), Coach Thomas "Ed" Crawford, and Athletic Director James Jones, alleging that she was subjected to quid pro quo sexual harassment and a sexually hostile work environment by her track coach, Crawford. Final judgments in favor of Crawford held that he did not subject Klemencic to quid pro quo sexual harassment or a sexually hostile work environment. Additionally, the district court granted summary judgment for Ohio State on Klemencic's Title IX claim against it. Klemencic's only contention on appeal is that the district court erred by granting summary judgment for Ohio State on her Title IX claim.
