Nature's news team uncovered how Dias distorted data and manipulated students to make claims about room-temperature superconductivity in two retracted papers.
The university is moving to terminate Dias's contract before it expires in 2024-25, following the investigation confirming the allegations of misconduct.
Dias's lawsuit against Rochester revealed the details of the investigation report, triggered by a grievance he filed over the university's decision to remove his students.
Rochester declined to comment on ongoing litigation but stated that they are vigorously defending their actions.
