I want to know if you can sue a community college for providing an education less than what was expected per the program outline and dean?
No class structure. new instructor who doesn’t know what he’s doing or teaching. No feedback from instructor on assignments. Took classes where we didn’t get equipment needed for class until a quarter or half way through semester. The dean told us we are basically the guinea pigs and we should expect things to be disorganized. Instructor and the dean said at the beginning of our second semester we should expect to enter the work force at above entry level pay. Now they say it depends. Also, told our degree would make us marketable for specific jobs and now they say no.

You need to look for a new school and then consider suing the school for this form of curriculum to get your money back. See if you can transfer your units to the new school and then sue. Speak to an attorney about a) suing the school and individual teachers and b) contacting and possibly suing the department of education in your state for allowing this entity to even exist.
