DURHAM – The University of New Hampshire quietly paid about $220,000 earlier this year to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former professor, according to documents provided to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Former assistant marketing professor Amy Kallianpur filed suit last July in federal court in Concord claiming she was the victim of "severe sexual harassment" by her boss, department Chairman Chuck Gross.
A recent review of federal court records found that Kallianpur dismissed her suit in February without any explanation. A subsequent right-to-know request revealed that the school settled the case and paid her $80,000 to cover lost wages, another $80,000 in compensatory damages and $60,000 in attorney fees. UNH also paid Kallianpur's husband Andrew $1.
