FRESNO, Calif. - A judge on Friday threw out a $19.1 million judgment awarded a former Fresno State women's basketball coach who had sued the school claiming gender discrimination, and ordered a new trial unless she accepts a smaller sum.
Former coach Stacy Johnson-Klein has until Feb. 22 to decide whether she'll accept a $6.6 million award instead, the judge said.
Johnson-Klein sued Fresno State claiming gender discrimination, sexual harassment and retaliation because she spoke up for female athletes. The university said Johnson-Klein was fired because of her job performance.
A jury awarded the coach the historic judgment in December. Fresno State attorneys asked the judge to overturn the verdict, claiming Johnson-Klein showed insufficient evidence.
