Jim Carter, a finalist for the University of Minnesota’s governing board, is accusing U leaders of trying to scuttle his candidacy after Twin Cities reporters received anonymous letters about a 1976 sexual harassment lawsuit against the former Green Bay Packer and his team.
Carter, one of three finalists for a vacancy in the Second Congressional District, said he has no evidence that University President Eric Kaler’s administration was involved in what he described as a smear campaign against him.
The letters included news clipping copies about an incident in which Carter exposed himself to a team receptionist and asked for oral sex. They promise to complicate Carter’s Board of Regents candidacy on the heels of the suspensions of Gophers football players involved in a sexual assault investigation and the firing of their coach — a highly publicized episode whose handling Carter has vocally criticized.
“I have no reason not to believe that President Kaler and his administration are not involved in this,” said Carter, a former Gopher.
“I think Kaler is afraid of what I know is happening at the university,” said Carter, a former Gopher. “He doesn’t want somebody like me asking questions on the board.”
