NCS Offers Costs and Tuition Voucher After Ruling
Judge Oletsky noted the cost of pursuing individual lawsuits could deter claims and that NCS may compensate legally cognizable out of pocket expenses. NCS offers include tutoring, books, mileage, lost wages and a $1,000 tuition voucher. Plaintiffs argue the error affected multiple students and warrants more than reimbursement, while Hakensen says such an issue is unprecedented. NCS Pearson facilities in Iowa City provide testing and data management services.
