Professors Sue Minnesota College Over Law School Merger
Two tenured professors at William Mitchell College of Law are suing over potential layoffs connected to a planned merger with Hamline University School of Law.
The two schools are seeking authorization to create the Mitchell-Hamline School of Law.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported that John Radsan and Carl Moy sued William Mitchell on Friday, claiming breach of contract.
William Mitchell’s President and Dean Eric Janus tells The Associated Press the school has been clear about the possibility of layoffs, and the tenure code can be amended by its Board of Trustees.
