'Nestled just north of Dixie State Universitys campus at 29 N. 700 e coffee E., The Harbor is a bar, with additional offerings in the form of hot chocolate and tea. In accordance with the nautical y name of The Harbor, the walls and dark wood furniture try to bring the sea to tlus landlocked self-serv- pj blue-gra- VOICEQFDIXIE state.

Narea Woods and Austen Harris filed the lawsuit in 2014 after complaining former head coach Catherria Turner discriminated against them based on their sup- - posed sexual orientation, religious views and race. Turner was fired in November 2014 after less than two years as coach. Woods and Harris both received $50,000 from the settlement and are responsible for paying their own legal fees. Woods, who has since left DSU to study at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California, said she is pleased with the outcome of the settlement. see LAWSUIT page v I yJ S- 1 'V ys, 2J-- 1 V 7J U L GY Y Li 1 Catherria Turner, former head coach of Dixie State University women's basketball team, coaches a game in 201 4 Turner was a defendant of a discrimination lawsuit recently settled by DSU and two former members of the team 3 emf DixieSunDixie edu Jennings room 34 225 S 700 E St George, UT 84770 1 3 mg f .It's 435-652-78- 18 learn'1 illy."1 ibjeCt' ing y Women's basketball falls nationally-ranke- d team j,to i' .., , ; 0 Reporter tries paragliding for the first time z ADVERTISING DixieSunAdsDixie edu iar, ff 435-414-00- 96 fax 435-656-40- 19 sports page 6 features page 8 |
