Highmark Inc., ex-CEO settle lawsuit filed after his firing

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — The University of Pittsburgh has settled a lawsuit brought by a transgender student who claimed he was wrongfully expelled from the school's Johnstown campus after a dispute over his use of a men's locker room. Television station WJAC (http://bit.ly/1Tj6E1j) first reported the settlement Wednesday between the university and Seamus Johnston. Terms weren't disclosed. A federal judge ruled last year that the university didn't discriminate when it barred Johnston from men's facilities because Johnston was still medically a woman at the time. Johnston appealed. In a joint statement with the former student, the university says it will ensure the gender identity of students is respected. It also said it is setting up a group to recommend best practices on use of gender-specific spaces. The school says people are welcome to use "any restroom that correspondents to their gender identity."
