Case: Individual Employment Rights/Tortious Interference (E.D. Ky.)

A federal district court magistrate judge recommended denying the University of Kentucky’s motion to dismiss tortious interference and defamation claims brought by a director with a disability who alleged retaliation after reporting financial irregularities, finding that he sufficiently alleged that two individual defendants acted outside the scope of their employment when they allegedly fabricated disciplinary actions and made defamatory statements with personal animus, while recommending dismissal of other claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Kentucky Whistleblower Act, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
