The owner of Big City Coffee filed a lawsuit against Boise State University on Friday, saying she suffered at least $10 million in damages when she was forced to close a campus coffee shop.
According to the state’s online court portal, Sarah Jo Fendley is suing several current and former Boise State officials, including President Marlene Tromp, and is requesting a jury trial.
The lawsuit comes close to a year after Fendley says she was pushed off campus because of backlash over her vocal support of law enforcement.
The Idaho Statesman reports, Boise State officials have maintained that they did not force Big City Coffee to close, saying they instead honored the vendor’s request to sever a contract.
