per ESPN:
A woman who was involved in an extramarital affair with former Wisconsin men's basketball coach Bo Ryan has filed a federal lawsuit against several top university officials, alleging defamation, invasion of privacy and deprivation of due process.
Details of the lawsuit were first reported by the Wisconsin State Journal.
The complaint, filed in federal court in Madison on Wednesday by Robin Van Ert, claims that the university conducted a "sham" investigation after Van Ert brought them allegations that Ryan misused school resources during their affair, from 2009 until 2014.
Van Ert also claims the officials violated her privacy rights by publicly revealing her identity when they released a 2015 email in which Van Ert detailed the affair and accused Ryan of misconduct.
Van Ert, 42, is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorney fees.
The lawsuit is against Chancellor Rebecca Blank, athletic director Barry Alvarez and six other school officials. Ryan is not being sued.
