      Unfortunately, some aspects of the Corinthian Colleges unethical behaviors have continued in the California school, Northcentral University 2018-2023/National University *********. The student contract illegally states students must arbitrate in their state of residence before suing the California school. However, such a thing is illegal & not possible according to lawyers in ******** (the state the Navy assigned me), facts echoed by the California lawyers I was referred to. ******************* legal judgement found the schools unethically wrote student contracts to hinder students from seeking legal academic justice once preyed upon. Please help me & future students who may be unaware, or unknowingly currently being victimized. It was only after my problems were unresolved, I researched all this information. None of the information of the schools legal conflicts were provided upfront! I found an online conversation between the schools board of trustees who inquired about the potential of legal concerns prior to the school merger from *** to NU. Board members were falsely told, the complaints were from students who did not meet the school's requirements. Meanwhile, my email containing **************** of my experiences were yet circulating via email to all school executive admin. All my information retrieved and shared online from my lived experience, and stored offline, proves I met the **************** have the legal concerns previously dismissed as not valid. My academic writings are circulating internationally. My intent is not to expose anyone. I only want help NOW! The school bullied me into over paying, lied claiming they were helping me, then withdrew me from school falsely claiming I quit. The school intended to overwhelm me with debt! My student loans are now past due! The ** tried to advocate for me. But the school stopped responding when I informed them their school's judicial officer suggested I take all my evidence & sue the school via a recorded call.
