A New York City woman has sued her alma mater because she can’t find a job after graduating in April. Trina Thompson, 27, has filed suit in Bronx Supreme Court on July 24 against Monroe College seeking $70,000 that she spent on tuition. Thompson says she has been unable to find a job since receiving her bachelor’s degree in information technology in April. She also claims the school’s Career Advancement Office hasn’t tried hard enough to help her with leads or the advice that it promises.
Monroe College spokesman Gary Axelbank says the lawsuit is without merit and that the college prides itself on the excellent career-development support it provides its students.
