A Michigan judge has ruled that the University of Michigan must pay $320,990 in attorney's fees to the law firm that represented former dental student Alissa Zwick, according to a story in the Ann Arbor News.
The $320,990 is in addition to the $1.72 million awarded to Zwick last December after a jury determined that she had been wrongly dismissed from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2005. Zwick had sued the school claiming she was the victim of infighting between two faculty members and the school's associate dean.
The faculty members involved in the dispute subsequently filed a motion asking for a new trial or a reduction in the jury's award, plus $500,000 for emotional distress.
