Albrecht quietly stepped away from his position, while Anderson filed a lawsuit against the school, accusing USU of defamation and breach of contract and seeking $15 million in damages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">On Jan. 3, after months of public dissent surrounding his departure, Bovee filed a lawsuit of his own, introducing new accusations that raise questions about the school\u2019s adherence to public record laws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Below is a timeline of the events leading up to Bovee\u2019s recent litigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>December 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>Dec. 20<\/em>: The Utah State grievance committee did not agree about Bovee\u2019s termination, but USU Executive Vice President Larry Smith sided with the majority and upheld the decision, according to the Cache Valley Daily. \u201cI have thoroughly read the Committee\u2019s written summary, and I have given it the most serious consideration,\u201d Smith wrote in the final decision. \u201cI agree with the Committee\u2019s ultimate findings and conclusions related to Mr. Bovee\u2019s grievance. Where the Committee members were not in agreement, I side with the majority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>January 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>Jan. 3<\/em>: According to the Cache Valley Daily, Bovee officially sued USU, alleging his termination violated state law. This came a little over a month after Anderson\u2019s suit, and Bovee sued for $300,000 in damages. Bovee said in his suit that his former superior Vice President and Director of Athletics Diana Sabau removed a number of job duties and undermined him, which led him to believe \u201cshe was trying to minimize his role and move him out of his position.\u201d The suit also elaborated on Sabau\u2019s toxic behavior that led Bovee and others to complain to Human Resources on multiple occasions. According to the complaint, Sabau once yelled at former executive associate athletics director for internal affairs Amy Crosbie and Bovee for hiring an assistant coach without asking for her approval. \u201cSabau\u2019s conduct during this meeting was so abusive that Crosbie began to cry, which Sabau mocked,\u201d the lawsuit states. Bovee also reasserted his claim that he was not given the option to resign in lieu of termination, a provision in USU Policy 311.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>After \u201cabusive conduct, mistreatment, insults, and veiled threats to his employment\u201d and recognizing the tense relationship between him and Sabau, Bovee offered to resign and allow her to hire her own staff, to which Sabau replied, \u201cYou will leave when I tell you to leave,\u201d according to the lawsuit. The school once again defended their decision in a statement issued to Cache Valley Daily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>Jan. 8<\/em>: A new development arose in the Bovee suit battle, with Bovee alleging that top administration use private messaging apps. He stated in the lawsuit that administrators used the messaging app Signal frequently for conversations, which is said to be in violation of Utah\u2019s Government Records Access &amp; Management Act. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the lawsuit states, \u201cIn March 2024, Ms. Sabau asked Mr. Bovee and other employees to download a messaging app called \u2018Signal,\u2019 which deletes communications at the end of each day, so that she could \u2018have more candid conversations\u2019 that could not be discovered in an open records request. Ms. Sabau also mentioned that she and the President of USU used it often.\u201d Bovee also requested transcripts of Zoom meetings related to his grievance hearing in October, but USU denied his request, telling him the Zoom call recordings were only accessible by a computer controlled or owned by USU and it couldn\u2019t separate the part of the file it considered private or protected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In a written statement addressed to The Utah Statesman on Jan. 13, the university said, \u201cUtah State University stands by its employment decisions and disputes Mr. Bovee\u2019s presentation of events. We look forward to resolving this case in litigation and continuing to focus on our student-athletes and the success of our athletics programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">It seems the legal battles between USU\u2019s athletic department and its former employees will continue for many months to come. Coupled with other recent controversies, such as the volleyball team\u2019s lawsuit against the Mountain West Conference and the legal challenges following the school\u2019s move to the Pac-12, the department has several lawsuits on its hands.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/a-timeline-of-the-jerry-bovee-lawsuits\/\">A timeline of the Jerry Bovee lawsuits<\/a> appeared
