A settlement has been reached in the discrimination lawsuit involving the University of Iowa football program.
In 2020, a group of Black former Iowa football players sued the university alleging racial discrimination and mistreatment in the Hawkeyes football program under head coach Kirk Ferentz.. The terms of the settlement have the Iowa athletic department paying out $2.175 million of that sum with the state picking up the rest.
In a letter to the Iowa State Appeal Board, Sand cited multiple other lawsuits involving Iowa athletics that have occurred during Barta’s tenure as athletic director, costing the school and state millions of dollars. Sand said that “personal accountability is necessary” for Barta, who has been the athletic director at Iowa since 2006.
Also on the board are state Treasurer Roby Smith and Department of Management director Kraig Paulsen. On Monday afternoon the vote came out 2-1, approving of the terms of the settlement.
