Looking for some info please

I'm looking for instances of technical and trade schools that have discontinued training programs without giving the students who were enrolled the opportunity to complete the training program.

I'd be particularly interested in learning of any such instances that resulted in litigation.

Thanks.

1. I don't know if this is something like what you are talking about but...

My daughter goes to Hocking College in SE Ohio. When she decided to go there is was because they had an archeology program that let them take their first 2 years there at Hocking, then stay right there at the same school but "transfer" to Rio Grand University http://www.rio.edu/ to complete their BA. They are no longer doing this because the Rio program "got to expensive". So now anyone who went there for first 2 years has to find someplace else to finish.

I'm looking for a situation where students pay tuition and enroll in a public trade school program - a plumbing program for instance - and that school then terminates the program withouit providing the students enrolled the opportunity to complete their course of study.

2. I recall that back in the early 90s there was a lot of noise about proprietory schools

(for profit) that offered 'trade' degrees and took student loan money whether or not the student even attended a day. Folks were ending up with a ton of debt and no degree or training. This was particularly true in the Detroit area. It's not much - but perhaps points toward some key words to search on.
