A former Michigan State University graduate student claims she was diagnosed with cancer after her work at the school exposed her to hazardous chemicals.
Ling Long Wei, an international student from China, worked as a research assistant at Michigan State from 2008 to 2011 while earning a master’s degree from the school’s horticulture program. Wei, now 41 and living in the U.S., claimed in a draft lawsuit, reviewed by The Independent, that she developed thyroid cancer after her work exposed her to pesticides and herbicides without proper training or safety equipment.
