A class action lawsuit with only 4 students? Ok.
Universities charge more and guarantee nothing in terms of job placement, but nobody sues them. Just goes to show how much people will happily pay for a status symbol.
- CydeWeys 4y agoA degree from an accredited university is a real valuable thing to have with a wide degree of potential applications. A boot camp doesn't give you anything like that.
- bruceb 4y agoaccredited is not much of marker of quality. Plenty of people get a bachelors in psychology that cost them $80k and 4 years of time and no job prospects.
- arroz 4y agoAnd plenty of people will be unemployed after a bootcamp, no one can guarantee you will be hired later
- bruceb 4y agobut you don't owe the bootcamp anything if you earning $49k a year or less.
- CydeWeys 4y agoIt doesn't matter if it's a marker of quality, most high-paying jobs require a university degree. That $80k BS in Psychology will open a lot of doors to you across a variety of industries that would be shut if you only had a high school education on your resume.
- jdminhbg 4y ago> A degree from an accredited university is a real valuable thing Uh… sometimes.
- barry-cotter 4y agoAt best a boot camp gives you job skills. A degree is proof you could afford to spend four years (mostly) not working. The latter is a much more effective way of keeping out the wrong sort.
- morpheuskafka 4y ago> A class action lawsuit with only 4 students? Ok. Do you know how a class action works? A comparatively small group of people file a suit and ask the court to certify a class of plaintiffs, i.e. a set of people that meet some definition. If the court certifies it, then the ultimate settlement or judgement will bind all members of that class even without any participation on their part (unless they opt out). The proposed class does not consist of 4 people. There are just 4 lead/representative plaintiffs.
- Gunax 4y agoThe lawsuit makes two claims: - The bootcamp lied about past student outcomes - It was not properly registered to offer ISA loans It's not that the bootcamp is bad per se, or even that it's worse than a university. Schools (including universities) cannot lie about outcomes.
