Former employee will still pursue suit
By BRIANA GERDEMAN
The Red & Black
When a U.S. District Court Judge dismissed a lawsuit
concerning a University research study, David Lewis
decided to fight back.
Lewis, a former University employee and plaintiff in
the suit, said he will appeal last month's decision.
The defendants in the suit are four University
researchers. Environmental Protection Agency employ
ees and the University Research Foundation.
The four researchers studied the toxicity of treated
sewage sludge being used as fertilizer in Augusta. They
investigated the issue and analyzed soil samples, con
cluding that Augusta’s sewage sludge program complied
with environmental laws and did not pose a significant
risk to cattle.
But Lewis said the researchers’ findings weren’t
entirely true.
“It was all adding up to what looked like nothing but
a cover-up,” said Lewis, a University alumnus. “Not only
were the studies incomplete and came to wrong conclu
sions... the employees who created the data admitted
they had made up the numbers.”
But William Miller, a professor of soil science and one
of the researchers, said otherwise.
“I do not think there was any fabricated or misleading
data, to my knowledge,” he said.
The allegedly fabricated study is all the more impor
tant, Lewis said, because it was used for other purposes.
The University researchers received a $12,274 grant from
the EPA in connection with the study, and after its com
pletion, the National Academy of Sciences used the data
as proof that sewage sludge was safe.
Lewis said he urged the University to withdraw the
data, but when it “dug its heels in,” he took legal action.
Although he said it was “clear that EPA approached the
University of Georgia to publish data they knew were
fake,” he was “naive” and did not realize how hard it

Nevertheless, these non-student
tickets may exist in order to accom
modate students with special cir
cumstances.
“We had a guy who is in a wheel
chair come in. He had a caregiver
who is not a student,” Anthony said.
“He needed to come with him and
take care of him. We have to accom
modate those kinds of things.”
Anthony also mentioned the non
student tickets cater to students
with a boyfriend or girlfriend who is
could lead them to coffee, showering, eating a large meal
and even drinking more alcohol.
But none of these truly do the trick, said Deanna
Walters, alcohol and other drug prevention coordinator
for the University Health Center.
“Nothing will make the alcohol leave the body any
faster,” she said.

would be to win the lawsuit.
The final decision to dismiss was based on a small but
important detail of the False Claims Act.
Lewis and the dairy farmers whose farms were treated
with the sludge and who were also involved in the suit
used a document they obtained through a public records
request as evidence. But the FCA is only applicable if the
information is not publicly disclosed or if the people
suing under the FCA are the original source of the pub
licly disclosed information.
The lawsuit hinged on whether information obtained
through a public records request could be considered
original Information. In most cases, courts have ruled
that information obtained through an open records
request is publicly disclosed. But some courts have made
a distinction between information that is publicly avail
able and publicly disclosed, and argued that open records
information is not publicly disclosed.
“I thought the judge was unlikely to take the position
he did, because we had a strong case," Lewis said.
Tom Jackson, the University’s vice president for pub
lic affairs, said he could not discuss the suit because liti
gation is still in process.
“To this point, the University's position has pre
vailed,” he said.
And though Lewis and the dairy farmers will continue
to fight, it’s going to be an uphill battle.
“The truth is, the dairy farmers and I have already lost
everything,” he said. “We don’t have the wherewithal to
keep this legal battle up.”
The farmers lost their dairy farms and their livelihood
after the sewage sludge contaminated their land.
Lewis lost his career as a scientist, as well as his per
sonal savings, which he spent on the suit.
“I’m fighting not only for the government to get its
money back... but I’m also fighting for my career and
reputation,” he said. “What UGA did to me to destroy
my career as a scientist it looks like they’re going to
get away scot-free.”
