Judge Splits Princeton U. Lawsuit Into Two Parts
October 27, 2008 | Read Time: 1 minute
The judge presiding over a major lawsuit against Princeton University has decided to split the forthcoming trial into two parts, reports The Times of Trenton.
Members of the Robertson family sued Princeton in 2002, saying it failed to use $35-million their relatives gave to the university in 1961 for its intended purpose: to train graduate students at the Woodrow Wilson School to serve in the federal government. The gift is now worth more than $650-million, and family members want to sever ties to the university and get their money back. Princeton insists it has used the money properly.
