Ex-UW-Whitewater Dean Drops Lawsuit, To Pay $1K

MADISON, Wis. — A former University of Wisconsin-Whitewater dean has agreed to pay $1,000 and dismiss his racial discrimination lawsuit against university officials.

Howard Ross dropped the case after days of trial testimony Friday. His attorney, Robert Kasieta, said it became clear he was likely to lose because the case had become too convoluted for the jury.
