HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Lawsuit By 12 Graduates Against Thomas Jefferson Law School Over Placement Data Heads To Trial In March. “Thomas Jefferson reported post-graduation employment figures that exceeded 70 percent and topped 90 percent in 2010, but did not disclose that those figures included part-time and non-legal work such as a pool cleaner and a sales clerk at Victoria’s Secret and were based on a small sample of graduates, according to Nguyen’s lawsuit and her attorney, Brian Procel. The lawsuit further alleges that the school routinely reported unemployed students as employed and shredded surveys and other documents that reflected a more accurate employment picture.”
Courts have been suspiciously charitable to law schools in other cases along these lines, but stay tuned.
