According to the Marietta Daily Journal, she has been awarded a $145,000 settlement. She will pocket $93k while the rest goes to attorney fees. The lawsuit was reached with the Georgia Department of Administrative Services.
“A compromise has been reached,” the agreement read. “The intent of this agreement is to buy peace of mind from future controversy and forestall further attorney’s fees, costs, or other expenses of litigation, and further that this agreement represents the compromise, economic resolution of disputed claims and, as such, shall not be deemed in any manner an admission, finding, conclusion, evidence or indication for any purposes whatsoever, that the KSU defendants acted contrary to the law or otherwise violated the rights of Dean.”
Dean claimed that Warren and Ehrhart were racially motivated in telling Olens about her and other cheerleaders’ peaceful protest. She added that she suffered from emotional stress.
It’s only right that Dean received a big check from KSU after the way they treated her. Nobody should be punished for shedding light on problems in America such as racism and police brutality. Flip the page to watch Dean speak on the situation with The View last year.
