Virginia Western Community College was hit with a lawsuit filed today by 59 current and former nursing students, who say it never told them its nursing program had lost its national accreditation, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.
The students, who say they will have trouble getting jobs with credentials from an unaccredited program, are demanding recompense of $350,000 each, a total of $20,650,000. The Times-Dispatch could not reach any officials at the college for comment because it is on winter break. —Andrew Mytelka
