A class action has been filed against former for-profit nursing school Stone Academy after it abruptly closed its doors on Feb. 14. The lawsuit alleged that officials knew the school was not viable, but continued to enroll students.

According to the complaint, defendants Career Training Specialists LLC, doing business as Stone Academy, Mark Scheinberg, Joseph Bierbaum, Gary Evans and Richard Scheinberg, as trustee for Creative Career Trust, “sold the class members a ticket to a sinking ship.”
