Lawsuit Alleges TSU Athletic Director Coerced Staff Member with Promises of Career Advancement in Disturbing Assault Case

HOUSTON — Kevin Granger, the athletic director at Texas Southern University, faces serious allegations of sexually assaulting an unnamed staff member, according to a lawsuit filed by the Buzbee Law Firm. The claims highlight troubling conduct that reportedly occurred within Granger’s office.

The lawsuit, unveiled by attorney Tony Buzbee, alleges that Granger invited the victim to his office on April 30, 2025, where he purportedly began questioning her inappropriately. The suit claims Granger repeatedly asked whether she was recording their conversation while proceeding to make unwanted physical advances.

In their statement, Buzbee’s firm emphasized the graphic nature of Granger’s inquiries, suggesting they escalated to sexual propositions. The attorney’s office indicated that Granger allegedly suggested he could advance her career if she complied with his demands.

The lawsuit also outlines how the alleged victim attempted to resist Granger’s advances before ultimately escaping the situation. According to the filing, she has reported the incident to several authorities, including the Houston Police Department, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the university’s Human Resources department.

In response to the allegations, Texas Southern University stated that they are aware of the situation but refrained from commenting on the ongoing litigation. The university’s official statement acknowledged the claims involving a member of their leadership team while maintaining a policy of not addressing pending lawsuits.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the allegations against Granger raise critical questions about workplace safety and the conduct of individuals in positions of power within educational institutions.

Those following the case will be watching closely, as developments unfold and additional details emerge.
