ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. � New Mexico coach Mike Locksley has resolved �all legal claims� involving a former football administrative assistant, although details were scarce in a statement issued by the university.
According to a plaintiff�s attorney, Locksley told Sylvia Lopez she was too old to be attractive to recruits, prompting the 25-year university employee to file an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint against the coach in April.
It alleged age discrimination, retaliation and, according to comments attributed to Lopez�s attorney, Whitney Warner, sexual harassment.
The statement, issued late Monday, indicated it was �unfortunate the label of sexual harassment was used in this case because it never fit� Lopez�s circumstances.
