A former UI graduate student filed a federal lawsuit late last week against a UI professor, claiming he repeatedly sexually harassed her in 2006 and 2007.



She contends that while she took classes and worked as a teaching assistant, Mark Weiger, an oboe professor in the UI School of Music, made inappropriate and derogatory sexual comments to her on a daily basis.



After a university investigation, Weiger allegedly admitted to participating in the conversations and activities, also saying he inappropriately touched another student in front of a class, Iowa City attorney Alison Werner Smith wrote in the suit.
