If someone is sued, that creates a court record. Even if the terms of the settlement are not disclosed, that there was a settlement is lodged in the court record, and publicly accessible. Even if court records are sealed, the existence of the case is not, and initial complaints are rarely sealed.
In short, if suing universities because of what they're teaching is routine, you should be able to point to court cases. If you can't find them, then it's not because it's secret--secret court cases don't exist--it's because they don't exist.
In the spirit of generosity, you might conclude that the parent commenter simply has their wires crossed, and has cases involving for-profit schools like University of Phoenix confused with real universities. If you didn't know much about higher education, you might think UPhoenix was one; it's in the name.
Nope, but thank you for your concern. The local class action case was with a local school that privatized, lost accreditation, and eventually became a trade school. The other University case I alluded to was covered in the news, and was notable indeed,
And you're still refusing to tell us any names because we're somehow lazy for not being able to correctly guess what locality you're in, what time you're talking about, and search local media history for that timeframe to uncover the case you're referring to?
While I am risk averse around potentially litigious content, there are plenty of publicly accessible recent examples to examine at ones leisure. Note the two scandals I was alluding to are not on these lists, but follow the familiar theme.
You posted really abusively in this thread, not only duplicating this comment several times but also deleting the text in other posts in a way that destroyed the context of replies and confused readers.
We ban accounts that do these things, so please don't do them again. Fortunately it doesn't look like your account has a pattern of this, so it should be easy to avoid in the future.
Give me three case numbers of cases where former students successfully sued the institution (cases that were dismissed don't count--just because a case was filed does not mean it is meritorious). Those case numbers should make it easy for anyone to find the complete docket of the case on PACER (if it's federal court) or applicable state courts (well, to the degree to which states make their dockets easily accessible).
You made the assertion; it's your job, not my job, to provide evidence for your assertion, and I've put you on notice as to the evidence that is satisfactory. If you can't provide the evidence, I have no reason to believe your assertion.
HN won't let you delete a comment if it has replies. The workaround, if you're still in the edit window, is to delete all the text instead. Doing this is considered rude.
