A Former Track Assistant Settles With MU for $1.1 Million
Aformer track and field coach has settled his racial discrimination lawsuit against the university for $1.1 million, his attorney said.
Brittany Mehl of Cornerstone Law Firm in Kansas City represented Carjay Lyles in the suit he filed in 2018 against the University of Missouri System Board of Curators, head track and field coach Brett Halter and former associate athletic director for compliance Mitzi Clayton. Clayton now works as the MU director of community relations and NCAA certification.
“The parties have resolved the matter to their mutual satisfaction,” Mehl said.
MU spokesperson Christian Basi said the university had no comment on the settlement.
