Florida Coastal School of Law sues US Department of Education

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida Coastal School of Law has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona.

The lawsuit comes after News4Jax reported in May that DOE blocked FCSL from getting back into the Title IV student loan program.

In the lawsuit, FCSL says that without access to the loan money, it will be forced to close, students will have to find alternatives to finish law school and faculty/staff will lose their jobs.

FCSL argues it’s tried to meet DOE’s demands to demonstrate financial security, but that DOE has demonstrated its true objective was to close a “viable school as part of a political agenda against proprietary education.” The school argues that DOE’s explanations for its actions are “contrary to the evidence and law.”
