Gaspar says by that point, she had spent the money on a new car and bills.
Notre Dame contends Gaspar should have been paid only $29.87, but was overpaid because of a typing error. The school says in a lawsuit filed Aug. 27 in St. Joseph Circuit Court in South Bend that Gaspar did not notify the school about the error, and instead spent the money knowing it wasn't hers.
Notre Dame says it discovered the mistake in May and requested repayment, but Gaspar refused. The lawsuit accuses her of unjust enrichment, fraud and conversion.
Gaspar, who no longer works for the school, says she suffers from depression and is frightened by the prospect of taking on a "power" like Notre Dame.
"If this was a mistake it was their mistake," Gaspar says in court documents. "Now I am paying for their mistake."
Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown declined to comment on the lawsuit.
There was no contact number listed for Gaspar in any of the court documents, and she did not respond to the lawsuit through an attorney. A phone message left at the only number listed in the Granger area under the name Gaspar was not immediately returned.
