I attended Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine from 2011-2014, which was specifically listed as one of the guilty schools here: https://studentaid.gov/sites/default/files/sweet-v-cardona-school-list.pdf

    I was too late to get in on the class action lawsuit, unfortunately. By the time I learned about it I wouldn't have been able to get my transcripts and all the materials necessary together to join. Friends and classmates of mine who had contacted RUSVM to obtain their transcripts months beforehand were meeting resistance and delays to intentionally prevent them from joining in the lawsuit, and I think at the time the deadline for joining was like 6 weeks away so I didn't stand a chance. And now when you go to the Borrower's Defense website (per my own interpretation of the legalese language used) it says while you can still apply they are not settling any new applications that reference the ruling until the injunction in the case is lifted.

    I'm wondering if it's now worth going to the trouble of getting my transcripts, gathering all the required evidence, and submitting a new application. It seems obvious that precedent has clearly been established that I'd be entitled to the same dischargement as the members of Sweet v. McMahon settlement. But they make the application process and the evidence required as obtuse and laborious as possible, and with everything in limbo and Devry fighting tooth and nail to delay things at every turn, I don't want to put significant effort into something that will ultimately be futile.

    1. Every University defrauds and uses elusive language, which is the foundation of this lawsuit.

      Remember that Sweet is not about school misconduct but about ED’s administrative procedures. You cannot cite Sweet in your case and it would have no bearing. The evidence of misconduct you provide will be the primary factor during adjudication.

      They are not adjudicating under the 2023 regulation because of the injunction. They are adjudicating under the 2020 regulation. The regulation in use is not borrower friendly at all and I would be shocked to see anyone get approved individually.
