A lawsuit filed in federal court last week contends Highland Community College in northeast Kansas asked coaches not to recruit black athletes, discouraged black students from attending the college and intimidated black athletes into leaving.

Highland officials deny the allegations. Fewer than 6% of Highland's 3,200 students are black.
