A group that promotes environmental integrity among public employees filed a complaint with the state University at Albany on Tuesday urging the school’s Senate to investigate what it called “wrongful retaliatory actions” against Dr. David O. Carpenter, the longtime director of UAlbany’s Institute for Health and the Environment.
The complaint filed by the Maryland-based Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility contends Carpenter was subjected by university officials to “conduct that has restricted his academic freedom and freedom of expression.”
