I think some folks misunderstand
They are not suing the college because they are unemployed.
They are suing the college because it used falsified data to increase enrollment numbers into a high cost degree program.
Ultimately, this no doubt influenced some of these people to enroll in the degree program as opposed to following some other field of study.
not having a job isnt so much the point...
false advertising is the point.
If you attended a school and majored in nursing because the school advertised 98% job placement, and you spent gobs of money getting your education only to find out that the school had falsified their job placement numbers - and that in reality only 58% of graduates found employment after graduation. would you not be a tad pissed at the falsification?
would these people gather any more sympathy if they had been of some other profession?
what if they had been minorities entering some basic business management major. and the school had said that 98% of their business management majors find jobs after graduation only to later realize that - oops - its actually 20-30% less than that number we advertised.
I dunno... i think they have a case if they can prove the numbers were intentionally altered - I've seen this kind of crap at 3 schools and there needs to be more "truth in advertising" if you ask me.
