Duke University and insurer AIG are in discussions to resolve a lawsuit over expenses related to confidential settlements the school paid to lacrosse team members falsely accused of sexually assaulting a stripper.
Duke and AIG have set Nov. 4 as a mediation date in the two-year-old lawsuit, Bloomberg News reports.
Duke had demanded reimbursement for costs tied to lawsuits by the lacrosse players and another by the team’s former coach over the school’s role in investigating the accusation, according to a November 2008 complaint.
