200 Students Join Lawsuit Accusing School Of Fraud

Nearly 200 students of a Kansas-based college have joined a lawsuit that accuses the school of fraud.

The lawsuit against Wright Career College was filed last year but amended recently to add 195 more students. The current and former students attended Wright's campuses in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

The lawsuit says the private, nonprofit college enticed students to enroll and apply for student loans that they could not pay back. It also claims Wright deceived students about attendance costs and employment prospects.

An attorney representing the college called the allegations "absurd." She says the college offers resources for student success and has never promised or guaranteed employment after graduation.
