In a Title IX lawsuit filed in federal court on Tuesday, a Colorado State student said the university and its leadership failed to protect her after she was subjected to unwanted sexual contact during multiple football games on campus.
Katelyn Schiller, a former server at CSU football games, said the school moved booster Michael Best to an upgraded suite and encouraged her employer to demote her after Best called her a “b—-,” grabbed her upper thigh and inappropriately touched her during three games.
Schiller also said Best’s friend, Scott Schell, had similar behavior, saying he grabbed the back of her neck and moved her around the suite and put his hands in her pockets in a sexual manner.
Schiller told ESPN that the incidents that unfolded during the 2019 college football season changed her life, leading to various stress-induced medical conditions and an elevated cautiousness around men.
Colorado State, Spectra (Schiller’s former employer), Best and Schell are all named as defendants in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado.
