The University of Texas is asking the state Supreme Court to block a sex and race discrimination lawsuit filed by former women's track coach Bev Kearney.

Kearney was forced out in 2013 after the school learned about a romantic relationship with one of her athletes a decade earlier.

Two lower courts have allowed her case to proceed.

The university's recent appeal says Kearney's evidence doesn't support her discrimination claims. The school also says her case would change the legal standards used for when state agencies could be sued.
