Texas Wesleyan University School of Law graduates have lost a bid to force Texas A&M University School of Law—which acquired their alma mater in 2013—to grant them new diplomas with the A&M name.
U.S. District Judge John McBryde in the Northern District of Texas dismissed a proposed class action brought by Wesleyan law alumni and found that the plaintiffs failed to offer any evidence that Texas A&M had violated federal law by not issuing new diplomas and granting them benefits afforded to A&M alums after the law school’s sale. McBryde also found that Texas A&M is protected from liability by sovereign immunity.
