MINNEAPOLIS — The University of Minnesota agreed to pay $137,500 to an undergraduate student who said she was raped in Cuba in 2014 by an interpreter hired by the local affiliate of a study-abroad program.

The university recently released the settlement agreement in response to a records request by the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The university admitted no wrongdoing in the settlement, which was reached last year.

The student, Natalie Carlson, said she was raped by a local interpreter who offered to help her with research and that her program's chaperone — a lecturer who no longer works for the university — failed to properly supervise the students.
