Four students in Owens Community College's nursing program have filed suit against the college, alleging they were misled into enrolling in a program that didn't hold proper accreditation. Plaintiffs in the case are Tiffany Habegger and Robin Kelly, both of Toledo; Brian Williams, Perrysburg; and Jason Rice, South Rockwood, Mich. The college has confirmed all four currently are enrolled in the registered nursing program on the Perrysburg Township campus. The suit, filed Thursday in Wood County Common Pleas Court, claims the college and its administrators knew for two years Owens was in jeopardy of losing its accreditation with the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, and not only failed to take the necessary action to avert the loss, but also failed to advise students this fall that accreditation had been lost.  « Less
