Hundreds of Students Claim ‘Clinton University’ Ripped Them Off, Left Them in Debt


Student after student has flagged Walden University Online for it’s educational practices or, in several cases, lack thereof. Nothing has been confirmed at this point, but the recurring nature of the allegations as well as the undeniable similarities between them all indicate a record of systematic abuse and mishandling on the institution’s part:

“Complaints from Walden University Online graduate students have been posted on websites such as GotClassAction.com and ComplaintBoard.com, maintained as a National Consumer Complaint Forum, all support Ferguson’s accusations.

‘Gordon C.’ explained in a post two days ago on GotClassAction.com why he wants to join a class action suit against the school:

I have had such a bad experience with Walden that I too would like to join a class action lawsuit. I found instructors to be very dismissive, complaining that they did not have time, and only to find out that this was a side job for them in that they worked for another institution besides Walden. I now owe $20, 000 with nothing to show for it. Yes let me know if I can join. Interesting how Bill Clinton took $16 million from this institution and the government won’t take action. I think I smell a rat here. Hillary will lose my vote over this.

On Feb. 28, ‘Very Disappointed Student’ criticized the instructors in a post on GradReports.com:

It is going on six maybe seven years and I have not gotten my prospectus approved. I am totally disappointed with Walden University. The instructors are rude and some are pompous and narcissistic. The program does not prepare students for the dissertation. I am in the thick of it financially and have stuck it out this far. Either staff resign or those that sit for you temporarily are getting their pockets lined. No I would never refer anyone to attend Walden it has become a nightmare. Do not go there it truly SUCKS!!!

On April 18, ‘Dr. Jackson’ told of a fruitless seven years as a doctoral student on ComplaintBoard.com:

RIP OFF!!!!

I am a Doctoral Student Consultant and have been working with a Doctoral student at Walden University. We have been working together for the past 7 years and still haven’t gotten anything accomplished. She is now on her 3rd chair who mistakenly sent an ugly email to her which was meant for another colleague of his. In the email to the colleague, the chair suggested that he should probably dissuade the student from continuing since she has reached her 8th year and is a poor writer. What kind of chair says that about a student? As a partner in this with my student, I deeply disgusted and my student is heartbroken. If there is a lawsuit pending against them and you have a good lawyer, please pass their information along.”
