LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A woman who sued the University of Nebraska last year saying the school fired her because she is a witch has agreed to settle the case for $40,000.
A letter from the woman's attorney confirms the settlement -- $10,000 of which will go toward attorneys fees and legal costs.
The woman, who practices witchcraft as her religion, said in her lawsuit that she was hired by the university in 2007 to direct a youth program, but was fired when it found out that she was a witch.
An attorney for the university says it made the offer without admitting to any of the allegations.
