    LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THE UNIV. OF MINNESOTA

    A lawsuit was filed regarding a list of "unreliable" websites.

    The University of Minnesota is now facing a federal lawsuit for
    displaying on one of its websites a list of sources it deemed
    "unreliable."

    Until Nov. 18, a list of "unreliable" websites could be found on the
    University's Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies web page because
    of those pages' views on the controversial Armenian Genocide issue.

    The Turkish Coalition of America was on the list.

    At 1 p.m. on Tuesday, TCA, in combination with University first-year
    Sinan Cingilli, filed a suit against the University, President Bob
    Bruininks and CHGS director Bruno Chaouat.

    This lawsuit contains seven charges, each relating to freedom of
    speech, due process or defamation. A defamation charge was added just
    before the claim was filed in response to a letter Chaouat published
    on the CHGS website defending the school and the center.

    Chaouat repeated in the letter that he had intended to remove the
    list before the lawsuit was being threatened, but also called the
    sources originally on that list "sources of illegitimate information."
