This morning I heard about this story of a graduate from Monroe College who is suing her alma mater for her unemployment status. Apparently, the graduate (as of April) still has not found a job. Consequently, she wants her tuition back.
There is something so fundamentally wrong with this attitude. I understand we are litigious society. Where is the personal responsibility? This suit sends the message the graduate should have everything handed to him or her. There could not possibly be anything wrong with the individual or that the nation is experiencing economic difficulty or that there is competition for jobs. The fear is that someone, somewhere in administration of universities and colleges where retention is the only reason for being, this law suit will have an impact on how schools operate.
