KPA Settles $2.15 Million Class Action Lawsuit
Students who attended the Modern Technology/ Maric College in North Hollywood, California, claimed they were mislead regarding their eligibility to sit for the American Registry of Radiological Technologists (ARRT) examination. The lawsuit argued students were allegedly deceived by the school through the course catalog and course catalog addendum, which stated that after completion of the California Radiologic Technician Program, students would be eligible to sit for the ARRT examination, when they were not.
KPA settled the lawsuit on behalf of the class of almost 100 students for $2.15 million dollars. Settlement amounts varied, and were determined by a court-approved formula, which included a partial tuition refund and consequential damages for the 22 named plaintiffs.
“Unfortunately these students put in tremendous time, effort and money to attain a goal that wasn’t even an option for them,” said KPA founding partner Shawn Khorrami. “We sought just compensation for their injuries and believe that the resulting settlement is fair.”
