An Oakland City University women’s soccer coach has filed a lawsuit against the university that claims the school hasn’t paid her or other employees since late April.
Plaintiff Chelsea Price filed the lawsuit on June 1 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana and is seeking class action status to represent other employees in the same situation. The lawsuit names Oakland City University, a private college in southwest Indiana, as the defendant.
According to the lawsuit, Price has not been paid since April 27. She estimates that more than 100 university employees also haven’t been paid despite doing their jobs.
Attorneys for Price did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Indiana Lawyer reached out to Todd Mosby, the university’s associate vice president for development, marketing and communications, for comment Wednesday but did not hear back before this story was published.
A similar lawsuit was filed against Oakland City University at the state level. On June 8, James Wilder, who is currently employed in a donor relations and marketing assistant role at Oakland City, filed a lawsuit in Gibson Superior Court against the university, claiming he’s not been paid for at least three weeks. He filed the lawsuit under the Indiana Wage Payment Statute.
His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
