A civil action dating back to 2007 and alleging sex discrimination by Lock Haven University and its athletic director is slowly making its way through the local court.
The action related to incidents that occurred in 2005 and names the university, Athletic Director Sharon Taylor and their approach to a former university swimming coach, George B. Garlick, of 37 Baird Road, Lock Haven. Clinton County Judge Craig Miller has ruled against a request by the defendants for summary judgment, an action that would have ended the case. Instead, Judge Miller ordered the plaintiff and defendants to have all their papers in order by Sept. 30 in preparation for a pre-trial hearing to be held Nov. 9.
According to legal documents: Garlick began employment with LHU as head coach of the women's swimming team in February 2001 and continued in that capacity through June 30, 2005. Despite a list of achievements in the academic and athletic arenas, the suit alleges, Garlick was informed that his contract of employment as head coach would not be renewed.
Among the accomplishments Garlick cites in his suit are that, on more than 40 separate occasions, new team records were set in all 19 swimming events; the team produced five all-league swimmers (something never done before); in 2003 and 2004, the team accomplished its highest finish ever in the league championships; the team produced five national qualifiers; swimmers were nominated for "Rookie of the Year" and "Athlete of the Year" league awards in 2005; in February 2001, prior to when Garlick arrived, the team finished last in the league; academically the team was ranked first out of all athletic programs at LHU; in 2004, the team ranked first in the nation academically out of all Division II women's swimming programs and fourth nationally in all divisions, both men's and women's.
