CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte School of Law students will lose their federal student aid beginning Saturday, weeks after the school was placed on probation, accused of not complying with federal standards.
Channel 9 reported in November that the American Bar Association was first to place the school on probation. It said the school failed to prepare students for the bar exam.
Weeks later, the Department of Education announced the cuts to financial aid. That means students starting classes in January won't have federal aid to help pay for them.
Several students are now suing the school and the company that owns it, InfiLaw.
Earlier this week, faculty at the school sent a letter to students about the issues, citing “actions and inactions” made by key decision-makers, and said InfiLaw needs to change the way it's governed.
The school is asking students to contact the Department of Education about the impact the decision to pull federal aid will have on them.
A spokesperson said that school leaders plan to respond fully and aggressively to the department on Jan. 3.
