Judge Upholds Verdict for Former LSU Track Coach

19th JDC Judge Kay Bates upheld a $773,000 award in Loren Seagrave's, a former LSU track coach, case against the University, reports The Advocate. Following the decision, LSU indicated that it will appeal to the First Circuit Court of Appeal.

In a somewhat related case, The Advocate also reports that a tenured Asian professor is suing Southern University claiming that he was demoted and replaced with a black colleague.
