A University of Arizona doctor and researcher who was given her walking papers last month is not going quietly.

Suzanne Sisley has filed a formal appeal of the decision by the school to terminate her from three separate positions. She contends decisions not to renew her contract are a direct result of her support of — and lobbying for — medical marijuana research.

But Marc Victor, one of her lawyers, said he doubts the university will reverse its actions. Victor said he expects the only way for Sisley to get real relief is to go to court.
