Margaret Kocaj has one more semester before she earns her degree from Charlotte School of Law.
Now she doesn’t know whether she will get a diploma or even if she has a school.
On Monday, Kocaj and CSL’s 700 other students at the for-profit school learned that the Department of Education will cut off millions of dollars in student loans and other financial assistance on Dec. 31. That’s money that most of the students need to continue their classes.
The government’s reason: a “substantial and persistent” failure by Charlotte School of Law to meet admission and curriculum standards while intentionally misleading current and prospective students about the extent of its problems.
