Western Culinary Institute
A class action lawsuit has been filed against the private trade cooking school for allegedly misleading students with sales pitches and ill-preparing them for the work force. The lawsuit was filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland against Western and its Hoffman Estates, IL based parent, Career Education Corp., alleging violation of Oregon's unlawful trade practices act and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit seeks to be filed on behalf of nearly 3,000 current and former students.
The class action claims Western Culinary Institute failed to warn students that upon their graduation, their tuition would exceed their ability to pay off their federal loans. The suit claims the school misrepresented its job placement rate and failed to disclose that students would not obtain material benefit from the course of study.
