Toledo Blade: Owens failed to address shortcomings in nursing | Owens nursing students lawyer

The Toledo Blade released an article earlier this week discussing the apology released by Owens Community College for failing to notify their nursing students about the loss of national accreditation for the program.

Our Owens nursing student lawyer Chuck Boyk has asked Wood County Common Pleas Judge Reeve Kelsey to certify the case as a class action to include all Owens students enrolled between July 1 and November 6, 2009.

According to the article, the school failed to communicate with their students and the faculty about the possibility of losing the accreditation. One of the stipulations to earn it was to have more of the part-time faculty earn masters' degrees, which was not accomplished.

Another stipulation the Owens nursing program had to meet in order to keep the accreditation was to show that the program used statistics such as passing rates on the national licensure exam, assessment of student learning, and placement of graduates to strengthen the program, which the college failed to do.
