Harvard Women's Hockey Coach Sues for Gender Bias

Former Harvard women’s ice hockey coach Katey Stone has filed a federal sex discrimination lawsuit against the university, claiming she was forced out due to false misconduct allegations and a broader culture of gender bias. Stone asserts that Harvard undervalues and underpays female coaches and holds them to stricter standards than their male counterparts. The lawsuit follows reports of hazing and emotional abuse within her program, which Stone denies. She argues that these accusations were used to undermine her career and force her resignation. Stone's attorney, Andrew Miltenberg, emphasized that the university’s actions were rooted in gender bias. Harvard has declined to comment on the ongoing litigation.
