New College Independent Alumni/ae Association

New College law student Marco Marcella has persuaded Daniel Stern of the Wasserman Stern Law Firm to meet with those damaged by New College’s loss of WASC accreditation in order to determine whether to proceed with a class action lawsuit.

In a class action, the plaintiffs are represented collectively on a contingent basis; that is, they pay no attorney’s fees unless there is a recovery. And then, the attorney’s fee is paid out of that recovery. Costs for such things as filings and depositions, however, must be paid by the plaintiffs.

There must be a minimum of 35 class members before an action can be filed.

Anyone who is interested in meeting with Mr. Stern as a group to discuss a class action suit against New College of California should contact him directly.

As we were first
engaging the field of battle

After receiving numerous complaints about its March 21 special live broadcast from New College, KPFA has deleted the program from its audio archive. Perhaps our official complaint with the California Attorney General had something to do with it, maybe not. Whatever the case, we’re pleased the management at KPFA has chosen in hindsight not to support the corrupt former New College trustees and officers in their ongoing attempt to deceive the public and alumni into supporting the defunct school with yet more unaccountable funds.
