Hello, happy Wednesday, the week’s over!
We’re starting today with an update on the high-profile Polk County lawsuit involving the University of Iowa and former senior athletics department official Jane Meyer. Overreaction Monday took a prep look at the case on, well, Monday in case you missed it. The DI has a killer timeline of events if you’d like some more detail.
Per the Register’s Mark Emmert and the Gazette’s Erin Jordan, the eight-person/two alternate jury heard conflicting opening arguments in the case. One side — led by Meyer attorney Thomas Newkirk — alleged his client’s unjust treatment due to her gender and sexual orientation.
