Velie Global Law Firm founder Jon Velie was featured in digital articles by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, KERA and WFAA after filing a wrongful dismissal lawsuit on behalf of five former Texas Wesleyan University doctoral students.
According to the lawsuit, the school over-enrolls the doctor of nurse anesthesia program by about 10%, then uses secrecy regarding grades and retroactive grade changes to bar certain students from the clinicals portion of study while unjustly profiting from the costs associated with the first year of the program.
The plaintiffs say they were dismissed from the program without due process and denied access to their education records.
“The evidence will show dismissal from this program means that these students’ CRNA careers are permanently derailed,” said Mr. Velie. “No equivalent program will accept a student with an academic dismissal on their record.”
