"Emory Workers Denounce School's Expert in ERISA Feud"

Law360 published an article featuring an Employee Retirement Security Income Act (ERISA) class action lawsuit against Emory University, which alleges the school breached its fiduciary duties as a result of excessive retirement plan fees and poor investment options.
