UB Athletics Official Wins Sexual Harrassment Suit Filed Against Former Employer

By Eileen Buckley

New York City, NY – The University at Buffalo's associate athletic director has scored a successful win in her sexual harassment lawsuit against New York Knicks head coach Isiah Thomas and Madison Square Garden.

Anucha Browne-Sanders has been awarded $11.6 million in damages. Browne-Sanders says she was fired from her job after complaining about the harassment.

"What I did here I did for every working woman in America," Browne-Sanders said.

After several failed bids to get a new job, she was hired by UB. In a written statement issued by UB's Athletic Department, Browne-Sanders thanked UB for having the courage to hire her.

UB's Athletics department says it is thrilled to know she has been vindicated.
