PHILADELPHIA – A lawsuit from a Penn State University student which alleged the school rescinded her Master’s Degree more than a year and a half after she was awarded it, claiming that the plaintiff didn’t produce wholly original work, may soon be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.
