The University of Maryland Eastern Shore has been ordered by a federal judge to pay former campus security officer Iris Foster $125-thousand in compensatory damages.
A decade ago Foster filed a complaint that she was sexually harassed by a coworker.
It was dismissed within six months.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that her initial suit charging the University with a hostile work environment and termination based on gender was dismissed for lack of evidence.
But the paper reports a second suit charging retaliatory harassment and termination finally succeeded.
The University says that there are no plans to appeal the judgment.
