MSU administrators file response to ex-business dean’s “desperate” lawsuit

Michigan State University’s top administrators motioned for a complete dismissal of a lawsuit from controversial former business school dean Sanjay Gupta, describing the suit as a “desperate, last-ditch plea for this court to take on the role of super-personnel department.” Gupta’s suit alleges that seven MSU leaders defamed him in a presidential succession plot, with then Provost Teresa Woodruff ousting him for a mandatory reporting failure to best position herself to become the university president.
