Jennifer Harris is a former player of the Penn State Lady Lions basketball team.

In 2006, she accused Rene Portland the coach of of Lady Lions of removing her from the team because of her perceived sexual orientation. Harris filed federal lawsuit against the Portland, University athletic director Timothy Curley, and the University. An internal University review found that Portland created a "hostile, intimidating, and offensive environment" based on Harris's perceived sexual orientation. Portland was fined $10,000, required to attend diversity training sessions, and placed on "zero tolerance" for future violations of the nondiscrimination policy.[1] The lawsuit was settled under confidential terms, and descried by a joint statement as "amicable."
