I think the plaintiffs would be people who spent money reacting to the emails, and I suspect Princeton may be quick to take care of those expenses to avoid further action.

I personally didn’t incur any monetary costs, just a lot of unnecessary stress.

Intentional infliction if emotion distress is a cause of action for a civil suit. You don't have to have lost money.

I think this is pretty awful, but I'd still give the person the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't intentional.
