The University of Iowa does not comment on pending or current litigation; however we can share that the university requires all employees to complete harassment prevention training and comply with the policies outlined in the policy manual. 

Harassment of any kind is unacceptable, and the university takes every allegation seriously. Details about specific cases are confidential to protect the privacy of those involved and ensure a fair process.

Because salary information at the university is public, we can share that as an assistant professor, Ms. Brunet earned more than all other full-time assistant professors and associate professors in the School of Music at the time of her departure.
