PHILADELPHIA – A lawsuit from a Penn State University student which alleged the school rescinded her Master’s Degree more than a year and a half after she was awarded it, claiming that the plaintiff didn’t produce wholly original work, may soon be dismissed if its service deadline under the law is not met.
Michelle Eberly of Dover first filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Feb. 13 versus Pennsylvania State University, of Abington.
“The gravamen of this lawsuit arises out of the retroactive rescission of plaintiff’s Master’s Degree, over 1.5 years after it was granted. Penn State University decided to retroactively allege that portions of plaintiff’s Master’s Thesis had been plagiarized, after said thesis had been carefully and extensively vetted by three professors at Penn State and granted by the University,” the suit stated.

MOULTRIE, Ga. â Colquitt County Superior Court plans to hold its first jury trials since the coronavirus pandemic began more than a year ago.
Three trials are scheduled for next week, with jury selection for all three on Monday.
Jurors are to report by 9:30 a.m. Monday to the Colquitt County Annex on the corner of Central Avenue and First Street Northeast. Staff will direct some to the courtroom on the bottom floor and others to the county commissioners meeting room on the second floor, according to Deputy Clerk of Superior Court Wilma Hadley. Splitting the jurors between the two large rooms will allow them to socially distance in accordance with CDC guidelines.
GREEN BAY - A resolution expressing confidence in how Green Bay ran the 2020 elections revealed deep divisions on the City Council Tuesday as officials contend with allegations that the city mismanaged the process.
The City Council voted 6-1, with five members abstaining, to pass the measure which states that the August and November elections were properly executed in an accurate, safe, and secure manner. The move came as critics fueled by articles on conservative websites have blasted the city s use of grant funds and private consultants to facilitate voting during the coronavirus pandemic.
A group of residents filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission last month claiming that the Center for Tech and Civic Life illegally dictated how Green Bay ran its election when it provided the city with $1.6 million in grants. Republican lawmakers also have zeroed in on the city as they seek to rewrite the state s voting laws.
