West Virginia University

November 30, 2005

More than 5,000 current and former employees filed a class action lawsuit against the institution regarding asbestos related illnesses. Federal regulators closed the WVU Coliseum during the 1999-2000 basketball season to clean asbestos out of the building's ceiling. Employees claimed that asbestos in campus buildings put them at risk for asbestos related diseases. West Virginia University agreed to establish a medical monitoring program. (Nov-23-05)
