University of Michigan-Flint student filed lawsuits over bad grades

[MichMan]

As COVID-19 was spreading in the spring of 2020, Dennis Eborka was taking a chemistry class at the University of Michigan-Flint.

He didn't like the grade he got and he did something many a student has probably pondered: He filed a lawsuit.

He filed the claim himself, arguing the school violated his "right to education" when it "neglected to award ... a grade of an A." He asked the Washtenaw County Circuit Court to order the school to change his grade.

In other cases, he’s sued Mott Community College, Lansing Community College, Wayne State College (in Nebraska), and the University of Texas Rio Grande over pretty much the same thing. One thing Eborka doesn't do is win. The Free Press was unable to find a single case where he prevailed, though the suits themselves demonstrate his persistence.

1. Takes after his his hero, Mango Jebus. Sue. Lose. Repeat ...

...obviously he's got some money. $75,000 in expenses to fail a course?

I want to read the background of this student!

I lived the next town over from Wayne State, in Pender. It is a very nice school and we used to get pool access cards every year. Great to take the kids in the winter.

4. How do you even spend $75,000 at LCC?

There are plenty of reasonably-priced places to live in Lansing and courses at Lansing Community College aren't that expensive. So that $75,000 claim has to be a lie.

2. How about spending money on getting some tutoring instead of bogus lawsuits?

Most colleges offer free tutoring.

3. He is probably judgement proof

But he should be hammered with defendant lawyer cost. For God's sake stop giving him student loans if he is currently receiving them.
