lawsuit vs. Suniya S. Luthar
Detectives are also interviewing Constantine's students and colleagues, including one, a woman, who had recently complained about losing a faculty spot in the psychology department to Constantine, sources said. Court records show what appears to be pending civil litigation, with Constantine, 44, in May filing a suit against the other professor. No further details were immediately available. http://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/am-noose1011,0,7110114.story ; http://www.tc.columbia.edu/abouttc/faculty.htm
