Golden Gate University School of Law’s decision to close its doors has met with significant resistance from a group of students and alumni determined to keep the institution open. These plaintiffs have taken their fight to the courts, filing a lawsuit to challenge the closure.
In a recent ruling, a state judge in San Francisco dismissed the lawsuit brought by the plaintiffs. The decision also denied their request for an injunction that would have kept the school open for the upcoming fall semester. Despite this setback, the plaintiffs maintain hope for their cause. The judge has given them the opportunity to amend their complaint, providing a potential pathway to further legal action.
The plaintiffs argue that the school violated its obligations to its students. With plans to file an amended complaint this week, they remain undeterred in their pursuit of an injunction to prevent the closure. This ongoing legal battle underscores the resolve of the students and alumni to preserve the institution for future cohorts.
More detailed information can be found in the Reuters coverage of the case. Additionally, earlier reports on the lawsuit alleging mismanagement by the school are available on Above the Law.
