Never, ever, hire this gal...

Say she wins the lawsuit but later in life gets a job that could be connected to her degree... Could the college then sue her?

If she wins the lawsuit does she have to give back her degree?

I say yes on both counts, if this were a fair and just world.

From the court filing:

"I am seeking a reimbursement of $70,000 from my tuitision (sic) because the Office of Career Advancement Information Technology Couselors (sic secundus!) are not making sure the e-recruiting clients call the graduates that recently finished college for a interview to get a job placement."

Business communications is apparently not part of the IT curriculum at Monroe.

Wow. Wonder how many spelling an grammatical errors there were in her "cover letter" and "resume." Sure would like to read those!

I went to a very good small college, and getting a job was my responsibility not theirs. Having said that though, I admit frustration with their placement office. I wonder what percentage of college graduates get jobs throught their placement offices? I would think the percentage is small. Ours were criticized by some of my professors.

The lawsuit is bunk, but the frustration I can understand.

According to her filing, her complaint wasn't even that the college wasn't contacting potential employers, it was that they "weren't making sure" the employers were calling the graduates. How exactly does she expect a college to force an employer to call all their graduates for an interview? Especially in this economy when layoffs are still being announced left and right and hiring freezes are the norm. Completely disconnected from reality. What I don't understand is why someone can't refuse to even allow her to file the paperwork.

I think she would have a better case suing the college for not giving her an education. Just present the news story as evidence.
