CHARLESTON - Citing differences with his clients in settling a sex discrimination suit with WVU Tech, a Charleston attorney is asking a federal judge to relieve him as counsel in the case.
On July 23, J. Michael Ranson of the Ranson Law Offices asked U.S. District Judge David A. Faber to schedule a hearing on a proposed settlement between Tech and two members of the women's softball team.The players filed a Title IX complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.
After filing the complaint that alleged inequities between the men's baseball and women's softball teams, Teri Harrison of Cabin Creek and Alexis Cox of Ripley employed Ranson and his wife, Cynthia. The couple were to file a lawsuit against WVU Tech to enforce a Complaint Resolution Agreement drafted by the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.
The lawsuit, records show, was filed Feb. 1. In it, Harrison and Cox alleged the CRA had either been breached, or Tech had failed to take action.
