Former Northwestern baseball staff members filed a lawsuit against the university. The allegations in the lawsuit allege retaliatory discharge, harassment, bullying and abuse at the baseball program that led to the demotion and ultimate non-renewal of the contracts of two of Northwestern’s assistant baseball coaches, Dustin (Dusty) Napoleon, Jonathan (Jon) Strauss, and its Director of Baseball Operations, Matthew (Chris) Beacom.
“We think that discovery is going to show that there is a there is long evidence that coach Foster engaged in this conduct in prior jobs, and that Northwestern failed to do the appropriate diligence on coach Foster before they hired him,” said attorney, Chris Esbrook. “Honestly, this was not a mystery that coach Foster engaged in this kind of behavior. If Northwestern was doing its job, it should have known this, and it shouldn’t have hired him and it shouldn’t have put Mr. Beacom and his colleagues in this kind of position.”
