In her complaint, Thompson says she seeks $70,000 in reimbursement for her tuition and $2,000 to compensate for the stress of her three-month job search.
As Thompson sees it, any reasonable employer would pounce on an applicant with her academic credentials, which include a 2.7 grade-point average and a solid attendance record. But Monroe’s career-services department has put forth insufficient effort to help her secure employment, she claims.
I am sure McDonalds is hiring. Not sure Google is looking for a CEO with a 2.7 from a Community College.
you know there is SOMEONE out there in the position to hire her, that, because of all this crap, might think to themselves “hrm, that is a creative thinker, we need her on our team…”
when I saw this I thought of all those commercials on TV that basically promise a high paying job with completion. This leads people into thinking it’s a sure thing as long as they finish the program and pay the money.
if it’s one of those schools then I’m fine with this lawsuit since I think the TV ads shouldn’t be promising as much as they do.
Thompson says she has not hired an attorney to represent her because she cannot afford one. When she filed her complaint, she also filed a “poor person order,” which exempts her from filing fees associated with the lawsuit.
