Press & Sun-Bulletin: Ph.D. student suing BU, says prof stole his work
Contending that his work was stolen and that he was forced out of a doctoral program, a former graduate student has filed a $202 million lawsuit against Binghamton University and four of its current and former staff members.
Charles O. Ogindo filed the civil lawsuit in state Supreme Court in May seeking $200 million in compensatory damages and $2 million in punitive damages and attorney’s fees. For the case to continue, he will have to re-file it in the state’s Court of Claims after a Friday pre-trial hearing before Judge Ferris D. Lebous determined the state Supreme Court had no jurisdiction over the matter.
