Jobless graduate sues her college

The Americans always seem to have a way about doing things. The woman refered to in this article has taken the unemployed student senario to the next level.

Does she have a point though? My degree was was distrupted heavily by poor teaching and incredibly poor administration, (a senario where I feel that if I had been taught to the level I expected, I would have recieved a 1st or at least a good 2:1 rather than the 2:2 I got)

Albeit I may not have worked particularly hard at the end of my 3rd year, but this was purely a result of the frustrations the university had caused me.

Speaking to a friend who graduated this year (the academic year below mine) it appears as though the University is still failing the students, I was dismayed to hear that the students had had their results reduced by 10% as a result of university marking systems.

If students are paying for a service, why does the service seem to fail so often?

I find it incredibly hard to try and understand this situation, granted the universities have thousands of students graduate every year. However, most students are now graduating in my position, no job and over ten thousand pounds worth of debt. With such a bleak existance facing the graduates, maybe getting their money back isn't such a bad idea after all?
