Student Sues Oklahoma Over False 'U.S. News' Data

A University of Oklahoma student has brought a class action suit following the revelation that the university misreported alumni donor information to U.S. News & World Report for its academic rankings. The student is seeking compensation after she said she decided to attend the university due to its U.S. News ranking. The suit lists as potential plaintiffs any Oklahoma student who enrolled at the university between 1999 and the present. The plaintiff is alleging breach of conduct and unjust enrichment on the university's part. Such lawsuits typically face an uphill climb.
