Apparently, Monroe College in Bronx, NY has not kept their promise to college graduate Trina Thompson. After graduation Thompson believed that the school’s career advancement program would help her find a job in her field, but that was not the case. Since graduation Thompson is unemployed and full of debt. On July 24th, Trina filed a lawsuit for the $70,000 she has spent on tuition for her school. Gary Axelbank, the school spokesman stated that "The lawsuit is completely without merit,” according to the Post. "The college prides itself on the excellent career-development support that we provide to each of our students, and this case does not deserve further consideration."
Hmmm, well all I can say is when I graduate with my BA next May I hope I can pull this off too! I got loans out the yin yang! (Well not really, but I got loans though!) Not only that but I would have revenge on my school jerking me around with my financial aid and giving me classes that don’t fit my major. I say all students should come together and do this foolery! Yea, so that way they’ll make things even harder for incoming freshman to get what they REALLY need for school. Come on now! Let’s think hard about this! She could’ve easily taken a part-time job to pay off some of her debt. Yes, we are in a recession, but we can’t use that to our advantage. Let’s get focused young America!!
