Maudie, of suburban Philadelphia, filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh seeking back pay and damages of more than $10,000. Maudie, women's softball coach and assistant women's basketball coach for the 1987-88 and 1988-89 school years, said she was forced to resign in 1989 because the school discriminated.
A school spokeswoman said Maudie was a part-time employee and that could account for any pay disparity. Maudie now is a physical education teacher and women's softball coach at Philadelphia's Drexel University, her lawyer said.
Yale University awarded an honorary degree posthumously to Arthur Ashe, the tennis player who also was a crusader for human rights and AIDS research. Ashe accepted Yale's offer of an honorary degree only a few weeks before his Feb. 6 death, the university said. Accepting the doctor of humane letters for Ashe at Yale's 292nd commencement was Alexandra Dell. She is the daughter of Donald Dell, a 1960 Yale graduate, chairman of Ashe's management firm, a former tennis player and a close friend.
