C-Plus Pushes Graduate Student to Sue

A graduate student at a university in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is suing the university and a professor because of a grade.



Megan Thode attended Lehigh University and claims that the C-plus she received prevented her from becoming a licensed therapist.



Thode received the grade during the fall of 2009 and has since got her master’s degree in human development instead of her desired degree.



Professor Amanda Eckhardt is the instructor getting sued and says that she believes that Thode “received the grade she earned.”



Eckhardt also said that Thode failed to receive her 25 participation points because she didn’t behave professionally, resulting in a full letter grade decrease.



Thode says that the C-plus has cost her $1.3 million dollars in lost earnings and plans to sue for monetary damages and a higher grade.
