Templeton denies abuse charges

The final day of the Randy Bachmeier vs. Montana State University-Northern public hearing wrapped up in Helena Tuesday.

Bachmeier filed a sexual harassment complaint against former provost Rosalyn Templeton last year for allegedly touching him inappropriately and is asking the hearing officer for $100,000 in emotional damages and $50,000 in economic damages, which he said were caused by his being unable to progress in his career due to retaliation he may receive as a result of his filing a complaint.
