Ann Arbor News: Former University of Michigan dental student awarded $1.72M
A jury awarded $1.72 million Tuesday to a former University of Michigan dental student who said she was illegally kicked out of school.
Alissa Zwick claimed she was thrown out of the dental school in 2005 because of a feud between the associate dean, Dr. Marilyn Lantz, and two faculty members.
A jury in federal court in Detroit said Zwick’s due-process rights were violated when she was dismissed after her third year. She had a “B” average but was told she wasn’t performing well in clinical classes.
