UConn will pay out just under a quarter of a million dollars to seven women — four of whom were part of the Huskies’ women’s basketball team’s staff in the 2013-14 season — after the US Labor Department found discrepancies in their wages compared to male counterparts in similar positions, according to the Associated Press.
The school will pay $249,539 to the women, two of whom are law professors at the school. The other five all work in UConn’s athletic department and are categorized as “Specialist IA” and “Special IIA” — former director of football operations Sarah Lawless and four members of Geno Auriemma’s 2014 national championship staff: Associate head coach Chris Dailey, assistants Marisa Moseley and Shea Ralph along with director of basketball ops Sarah Darras.
