Former Western Kentucky University student body president sues university, Caboni

A former student body president is suing Western Kentucky University, alleging WKU President Timothy Caboni and other campus administrators failed to stop harassment and “verbal, mental and emotional abuse” that caused her to fear for her safety.

In a federal complaint filed Friday, Loandria “Andi” Dahmer claimed she was subject to escalating levels of sex-based discrimination and harassment from fellow students, including Phi Delta Theta fraternity members.

The suit seeks unspecified monetary damages.

Along with Caboni, the suit names the university, assistant general counsel and Title IX coordinator Andrea Anderson and director of student activities Charley Pride as defendants.

According to the complaint, Dahmer was cursed at and berated by WKU students and was the subject of anonymous, insulting messages, including a note left on her car that read “Go f--- yourself.”
