Harvard Files Motions to Dismiss and for Summary Judgment

Cambridge, MA – Lawyers for Harvard University asked a U.S. District Court judge on May 31, 2022 to dismiss a civil lawsuit filed by three graduate students last year. Harvard filed a motion for summary judgment on count 10 of the lawsuit, which claimed that the University had improperly obtained and released one plaintiff’s therapy records, and supported it with numerous affidavits and internal records. Harvard filed a motion to dismiss the remaining counts of the lawsuit, citing failure to state a claim and statute of limitations deficiencies.
