Kennesaw State University's decision to remove its cheerleaders from the field after they protested police brutality during the national anthem led to the college paying $145,000 in a legal settlement.
Former cheerleader Tommia Dean will get $93,000 of the award, with the rest going to her attorneys.
The Marietta Daily Journal obtained a copy of the settlement Wednesday through an Open Records Act request.
The cheerleaders were ordered off the field during pre-game activities after five of them took a knee in 2017.
They were allowed back after the University System of Georgia determined their protests were protected by the U.S. Constitution.
