<p>BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) &#8212; A Montana State University professor is suing Wal-Mart for libel after he says an employee at the Bozeman store listed his occupation on a fishing license as a &#8220;toilet cleaner.&#8221;</p><p>Gilbert Kalonde, assistant professor of technology education at MSU, filed the suit this past week in Gallatin County District Court.</p><p>Kalonde is seeking unspecified damages.</p><p>Wal-Mart spokesman Ragan Dickens told The Associated Press: &#8220;To our knowledge an administrative process to resolve this with Dr. Kalonde is ongoing. We&#8217;ve not been served with the lawsuit, but we take the claims seriously and will respond appropriately with the court.&#8221;</p><p>According to the complaint, Kalonde bought a state fishing license in April 2015, showing the Wal-Mart employee identification of his employment at MSU. But the Wal-Mart employee entered &#8220;clean toilets&#8221; into the state database as Kalonde&#8217;s occupation.</p><p>The suit contends Wal-Mart exposed Kalonde to &#8220;hatred, contempt, ridicule&#8221; through the incident.</p><p>___</p><p>Information from: <a href="http://www.bozemandailychronicle.com" target="_blank">Bozeman Daily Chronicle</a>.</p><style>
