A professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law has sued law dean Lawrence Mitchell, alleging that he punished him for reporting allegations that the dean had sexually harassed staff members and had a sexual relationship with a student.

Professor Raymond Ku filed the suit in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Court of Common Pleas on Wednesday, seeking more than $25,000 in damages from Mitchell and the university for retaliation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He claims Mitchell stripped him of administrative roles and cut his pay after Ku reported Mitchell.
