I am writing to attempt to get everyone together that has had horror stories regarding the University of Phoenix and begin a class action lawsuit. If we get enought people together with similar situations we can do this! I am not out for financial gain, just to recieve justice from the scam which is University of Phoenix.

Now I know that all you UOP employee's will be posting threads supporting your beloved UOP. However you don't have to pay for your education (if that is what you want to call it). I was a student at UOP for several years and a student at two other colleges before UOP. The reason that I signed up for UOP was because I could work around my busy schedule. I had hesitation of starting school again because I was familiar with the time and effort that was required from my prior college experiences.

Once I started classes, I quickly realized that this school was a joke. It required little to no effort to get an A in every class, all you had to do was show up and give the instructor a good review at the end of the course so they could keep their position and you get an A. I felt like I was going to the "no child left behind college". I have over 100 credit hours at UOP and have a 3.79GPA and never purchased a book for any of my classes. I would have had a 4.0 but quickly realized that I could miss 1 of the 5 classes and take the little hit and still keep my 3.79 GPA. Explain how this could be in a college environment.

On top of this, I got to the end of my degree program and had a very bad hardship and had to take some time off and with 3 classes remaining was told that since I had taken a break in my courses I would need 24 more credit hours to finish my degree. This all in spite of multiple attempts to appeal with the UOP appeals commitee.

I am looking for any lawyer that is willing to help file a class action lawsuit and anyone that has been wronged to join me in my efforts. I am not looking for financial gains just the opportunity to be reimbursed for the 30+ thousand dollars in student loans that I am paying for and never recieved my piece of paper. In today's society, unless you are going to be a lawyer or doctor I agree that just having the piece of paper is enough to get you in the door and UOP has capitalized heavily on this idea. However where do we draw the line between capitalizm and ruining peoples lives? Please any legal councel respond and let's get this rolling. Also anyone that has been put in a similar situation please band together with me to help get some justice. If someone can sue McDonalds for spilling coffee on themselves we must be able to find a way to help gain justice on this matter.

Thank you
