Update: Class certification motion filed in Western Culinary Institute case
For those following the proposed class action against Western Culinary Institute and Career Education Corp., we filed our opening brief on class certification today. WCI and CEC will file an opposition, and then we’ll file a reply. Judge Baldwin is scheduled to hear oral argument on the motion at a hearing in Portland on October 29, 2009.
The filing contains materials that are currently subject to a confidentiality order. For that reason, I can’t publish it at this time. For those keeping track, this case generated rather heated criticism. I was comfortable with the decision we made to file the case. It’s fair to say that nothing that’s happened since has done anything other than to confirm my take on the case.
