MINNEAPOLIS -- The University of Minnesota paid nearly $300,000 to settle sexual harassment complaints related to former athletic director Norwood Teague, newly released documents show.
Teague resigned in 2015 after two high-ranking administrators said he sexually harassed them at a senior leadership retreat at Breezy Point Resort in Pequot Lakes. He apologized for what he said was his "offensive behavior." Teague said he had too much to drink at the retreat and that his behavior doesn't illustrate his true character.
Ann Aronson, former deputy chief of staff in university president Eric Kaler's office, and Erin Dady, special assistant to the president, said they reported Teague's actions because they were frightened and feared others would be subject to such behavior.
