Mel Tucker sues Michigan State University for wrongful termination

The ugly saga of Michigan State football and Mel Tucker continues. Kenny Jacoby of USA TODAY reported this week that on Wednesday, Mel Tucker filed a lawsuit alleging the university and its leadership wrongfully terminated him, and defamed him, during the now infamous sexual harassment scandal last fall.

“By improperly weaponizing the University’s investigative procedures against Plaintiff,” the suit claims, “the Defendants have caused, and continue to cause, Plaintiff to experience severe emotional harm and suffering, and have caused hundreds of millions in damages.”

The lawsuit seeks financial compensation.
