(Minneapolis, MN) — The University of Minnesota is suing UCare.
They claim the nonprofit health insurer’s proposal to expand its board of directors would cause university-appointed board members to lose the majority.
UCare contends the lawsuit is speculation and that the university has not provided evidence that it would be harmed by the changes being considered.
The health insurer also argues that the suit is asking the court to re-write the company bylaws to give the university more control, a move the board turned down in 2021.
