Constantine was a clinical psychology professor at Teachers College. She says her firing was fueled by "academic rivalry and political intrigue."
Teachers College says the lawsuit has no merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.
Constantine's firing came after a noose was found dangling from her office door. Police never determined who put it there.
In October, the former professor filed a lawsuit seeking to have her firing reversed.
