Prof's $1.5 million suit not specific, judge rules
A $1.5 million slander suit filed by a KU anthropology professor will have to be re-written to include more specific information on the charges, Douglas County District Court Judge Ralph King Jr. ruled Friday.
Defense attorney Bruce Miller told the judge it would be impossible for his clients to respond to the suit filed by the professor, Michael Crawford, unless he met the exact times, dates and places the alleged slanders occurred.
Judge King made the ruling in response to a motion made on behalf of three of the defendants, who said they were "vague, ambiguous and confusing."
Crawford's suit stems from a complaint filed in January, 1977, by two of the defendants. They alleged that Crawford used improper research techniques on human subjects and that he misused federal grant money during

Judge King ordered the prosecution to provide the information requested only for the charges dealing with slander.
