Former Kent State field hockey coach Kathleen Wiler sued the university in federal court Tuesday “for gender discrimination, wage discrimination and unequal pay based on gender.”
In the Eastern Division of the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Ohio, Wiler and her attorneys filed a class action lawsuit stating she made less money than her male counterparts in coaching positions at Kent State. The five-time Mid-American Conference coach of the year made $85,496. The lawsuit states male coaches at Kent State earned an average of $125,291.
