Greene Broillet & Wheeler clinched a $6.1 million win on behalf of whistleblowers against the Regents of the University of California, UC’s governing body, on June 27.
The suit, originally filed in November 2021, consolidated two separate whistleblower retaliation complaints brought by Dr. Jeannie Lochhead and Dr. Michele Nelson, both former faculty members at UC Riverside’s Department of Psychiatry and Neuroscience. The case, which alleged that the UC Regents violated the California Whistleblower Protection Act, went to trial on May 17 in Riverside County Superior Court.
