A former Northwestern University volleyball player has filed a lawsuit against the university, alleging university officials failed to properly address a hazing incident that took place two years ago.
The player, who is identified in the lawsuit as "Jane Doe 1," is the first female athlete from the university to come forward amid reports of hazing in the school's football program.
In a 25-page lawsuit filed Monday, Jane Doe alleges she experienced "hazing, harassment, bullying and retaliation" as a member of Northwestern's volleyball team.
The lawsuit names Northwestern University, its president Michael Schill, former president Morton Schapiro, the school's board of trustees, university vice president for athletics and recreation Derrick Gragg, former university vice president for athletics and recreation James Phillips, and head volleyball coach Shane Davis as defendants.
