It's never about the money, is it? Then why are they suing--certainly not to make a point... Sounds like a three-year scheme and not a three-year degree, if you ask me. This kind of story makes students look bad on the whole. *argh*

I'm still trying to figure out how the fast food industry is responsible for making people fat, or how a woman walked with millions of dollars because the hot coffee she bought spilled and burnt her. Dear dear God. Sigh.
Please dear Lord, don't let one nickel of my taxpaying dollars go towards having to legally defend against this lawsuit. Please give them the wisdom to throw it out of court.
