CLG Founder and NYU Professor Michael Rectenwald Sues NYU and NYU Colleagues for Irreparable Damage from Defamation --'Deplorable' NYU professor sues colleagues for defamation | 13 Jan 2018 | The "politically incorrect" NYU professor accused of "incivility" by liberal colleagues and put on leave is now suing the college and four fellow profs for [insanely] calling him everything from a drug addict to Satan. The "malicious" statements appeared in an e-mail thread that blasted out over five days in May from school accounts to more than 100 university staffers, claims a defamation lawsuit filed Friday by professor Michael Rectenwald. He blames NYU for doing nothing to stop the "nasty screed," according to papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court. [In a statement given exclusively to CLG News, Rectenwald said, "My 'colleagues' have utterly contaminated the entire faculty and curtailed my career by at least ten years. I had no choice but to sue them for their outrageous lies and imputations, and NYU for essentially condoning their outrageously defamatory remarks."]
