A discovery hearing is scheduled in federal court Monday in a discrimination lawsuit filed by former Colorado Mesa University lacrosse coach Shanta Loecker against the school.

That suit, filed in April 2021 in U.S. District Court in Grand Junction, alleges that CMU unfairly fired Loecker based on gender and racial discrimination as part of a pattern of gender bias and stereotypes against female coaches and people of color.
