Student Fee Litigation

Matt Lamb:

Tayah Lackie sued St. Cloud State University, Students United, and Minnesota State University officials for her required student fees.

The money went to Students United, which advocates for taxpayer-funded bailouts of student loan borrowers, something Lackie (pictured) opposes. She first filed her lawsuit in May of last year, as previously reported by The College Fix.

On July 10, a federal judge in Minnesota dismissed her claims against the other defendants but allowed the case against the student advocacy group to continue. The next step is discovery.

“Although Students United is a private organization on paper, the court found that it qualifies as a state actor in this case because it has a special right to student fees in state law and works jointly with the government to collect those fees,” the Liberty Justice Center explained in a celebratory news release. It is representing Lackie along with the Upper Midwest Law Center.
