KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The University of Tennessee has rejected claims by three employees of its women’s athletics department who say they were discriminated against because their salaries were lower than those of employees in the men’s athletics department with comparable duties.
According to university documents, associate Athletics Director for Women’s Sports Medicine Jenny Moshak, Assistant Athletics Director for Women’s Strength and Conditioning Heather Mason and Associate Director for Women’s Strength and Conditioning Collin Schlosser filed the complaint to the UT Office of Equity and Diversity in 2010.
After a yearlong investigation, the office determined their jobs were not similar enough to jobs within the men’s department to find that they were denied equal pay for equal work.
Knoxville radio station WNML first reported the descrimination claim.
