[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His defense is that it's the university's fault because it should have known that he was lying on his application?  That's ridiculous.  And this isn't a life sentence--he's not going to prison, he's being kicked out of school.  Which he deserves.  He should get the credits for the classes he took, but otherwise, I'm not sympathetic.  If he has a hard time getting admitted into another school because he's a liar--well, maybe he shouldn't have lied.  People talk about how poor people need to learn to take responsibility for their choices, well, so do rich people, right?  [/quote]

Agreed.  The kid is suing because he knows he's not going to be able to transfer to a Georgetown caliber school (with a 3.1 GPA), and he's making a Hail Mary lawsuit pass.[/quote]

+1 to PP.  if this student were a freshman and not a junior with just a year of undergrad left, it might be less likely that he would sue, I think. But he's got three years in, and wants that Georgetown name on the degree. I'm not sure what that will gain for him, if he wins, because the most basic Googke search will turn up the fraud allegation with his name attached--for the rest of his life. [/quote]

+! he should just quietly go to Mason and get on with his life.  If he isn't careful his name will become a verb.[/quote]
