Whistle-Blower Accuses U. of Oregon of Retaliation in Lawsuit

A professor who says she was forced out as department head and later retired from the University of Oregon has sued the university for more than $1-million, accusing it of pushing her out the door because she blew the whistle on financial problems in a graduate program, The Register-Guard, a newspaper in Eugene, Ore., reported on Sunday. The tale of the professor, Jean Stockard, is told in a Chronicle article published in March.
