The University of Kansas paid out a total of $395,000 to settle lawsuits by two former KU rowers who claimed they were sexually assaulted by a former football player in campus housing.
With no admission of liability, the university agreed to pay former rower Daisy Tackett $245,000 and former rower Sarah McClure $150,000.
The settlement allots $102,000 of Tackett’s amount and $63,000 of McClure’s to the Brown and Curry Law Firm of Kansas City. The firm represented both women.
The Tackett lawsuit was filed in Douglas County in March 2016. The McClure lawsuit was filed in April 2016.
