A Chinese-born former chemistry professor at the University of Kansas who was wrongfully accused of being a Chinese spy has filed a lawsuit against the school, seeking to be reinstated and demanding compensation for the financial and reputational damage he has suffered.
According to court documents, Feng “Franklin” Tao said the university worked with the FBI “to arrange a surprise search of Professor Tao’s lab and home”, alleging “an improper collaboration between KU and the [US Department of Justice] to target” him.
