"Students in the lawsuit accused the defendants of undercutting their education, leaving some unable to earn degrees despite completing their programs. Plaintiffs argue that the sudden closure resulted in diminished educational outcomes, diminished status of educational credentials, financial loss, loss of opportunity for advanced degrees, loss of employment opportunities and loss of the benefit of financial investments."
"Kevin Getter, a former student, alleged in an affidavit that he had completed all required courses and credits to graduate with a master's degree but never received it due to the sudden closure."
Former students and staff are suing Martin University for breach of contract following its abrupt closure at the end of 2025. The lawsuit claims that the closure undercut students' education, leaving many unable to earn degrees despite completing their programs. Plaintiffs allege diminished educational outcomes, financial loss, and failure to provide promised educational services. Martin University had been struggling with declining enrollment for years, and when it announced its closure, promised transition plans never materialized. The lawsuit seeks to halt the sale of the campus pending investigation.
