ATHENS - The organization that oversees licensing of U.S. pharmacists has widened a lawsuit against a University of Georgia professor to include other administrators at the institution.
Late last month, the National Association of the Boards of Pharmacy expanded the law suit it filed in August against the University System of Georgia and Flynn Warren Junior, a professor at the UGA College of Pharmacy.
The suit alleges that Warren violated a copyright by asking former students to remember questions on the association's licensing exam so that he could help current students study for the test.
The law suit now includes: pharmacy Dean Svein Oie; Assistant Dean George Francisco; Paul Brooks, the director of continuing education for the pharmacy school; and Alan Wolfgang, assistant dean of student affairs for the school. It also includes associate professor Henry Cobb the Third, who the association says helped teach the test prep classes.
The association suspended use of the exam nationwide for two months after accusing Warren of handing out questions to students. Use of the test was reinstated in early October.
The Georgia Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination is still not being administered.
UGA spokesman Tom Jackson says the expansion of the lawsuit is a -- quote -- ``maneuver to try to slow down'' a motion the university plans to file to dismiss the case.
