Elon University looks to dismiss lawsuit from former professor
Elon University is seeking dismissal of former Elon professor of accounting Ray Knight’s federal lawsuit, which he filed against the university on Feb. 6. Knight alleges the university retaliated against him for whistleblowing, wrongfully denied him tenure, wrongfully terminated his employment and violated both federal whistleblower protections and North Carolina public policy. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.
