Graduates of the University of Southern California’s online social work master’s program filed a lawsuit, accusing the school of false advertising when it claimed that its program was the same as its on-campus one even though much of it was outsourced
Complaint seeks to halt school from claiming program offered by technology company 2U is same as its on-campus offeringLauren Justice for The Wall Street JournalGraduates of the University of Southern California’s online social work master’s program, accusing the school of false advertising when it claimed that its program was the same as its on-campus one even though much of it was outsourced to a for-profit company, 2U .
The civil suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, accuses the school of charging the same tuition for both master’s programs—over $110,000 until 2022-23—while “in reality…USC’s online MSW program offers classroom instruction that is not the same as, but instead is substantially different from and categorically inferior to USC’s in-person MSW classroom instruction.”

Fort Worth mom whose son died from fentanyl overdose to continue awareness rallies - KRLD NewsA woman who lives in Fort Worth is planning a fourth rally this weekend to warn other families about fentanyl. The CDC says overdose deaths among people ages 14 to 18 increased 109% from 2019 to 2021. Stephanie Hellstern's 16 year old son died from a fentanyl overdose in July of 2020.

Hellstern has launched the 'North Texas Fentanyl Coalition.' She says the organization now has 60 members.
