School Reaches Settlement In Sexual Harassment Case
"We think the settlement was fair and, more importantly, hope it sends a message."
Mesabi Range Community and Technical College in Eveleth has reached a settlement with a former student who says she was the victim of sexual harassment.
In 2007, Kirstie Jones decided to go back to school At that time she was the only female enrolled in Mesabi Range's millwright program. She says other students - two in particular - started harassing her from day one. She ended up quitting the program and moving back to her hometown of Hoyt Lakes. Then she got in contact with personal injury attorney Harry Sieben.
"The only reason I took this case is I was shocked this was happening. This should not happen any place in the world, certainly Minnesota, and certainly not in a taxpayer-funded institution."
