Alum Sues Cornell Chronicle

Libel accusation leads to $1 million lawsuit

January 24, 2008 - 12:00am
By Michael Stratford

A former student has filed a million-dollar defamation lawsuit against Cornell stemming from an archived Cornell Chronicle news report that describes burglary and larceny charges he faced while attending the University.

Kevin Vanginderen ’83, a practicing California lawyer, filed a complaint in San Diego County Superior Court last October for libel and public disclosure of private facts against Cornell resulting in “loss of reputation” and “mental anguish”.

The lawsuit seeks to hold Cornell liable for making libelous and private information about Vanginderen prominently available nearly 24 years after the article was published in print form.
