Cold Hearted School

In this video, a new UOP student attends one class before finding out he just has weeks to live. UOP refuses to refund his money, and as an insult offers $300 off his next class! The student finally resorts to the media who is able to get UOP to reconsider the charges.

Still In Debt... Even After Death?

(KUTV) A contract is legal and binding when it is agreed to by two parties, usually for goods or a service. But should a dying man be held to the commitment?

Bryce Brown recently enrolled in classes at the University of Phoenix with hopes of developing a professional career, so that he can take care of his new wife and baby daughter. He attended just once class before he received some grim news.

Following a visit to a physician, Brown learned that he has stage 4 melanoma spread throughout his entire body. His condition is so grave that the physician believes Brown has just a few weeks left to live.

Brown must now make some very important and difficult decisions in the last weeks of his life, but one thing he wants to ensure is that his family not be left with his college debt.

“We have high hopes, but I am not going to school soon,” he said.

When Brown asked the University of Phoenix to forgive his tuition debt, administrators refused – instead offering him $300 off next semester’s tuition. Because it is possible that Brown might not even be around next semester, the offer seemed useless.

Should Brown, or his family, be obligated to pay the school back? At what point does a contract become non-applicable?

I spoke to the school’s president in Brown’s behalf, asking that his financial obligation be forgiven in the event of his death. Ultimately, the college agreed to relieve him of the debt.

“It helps me to know that my wife won’t have to deal with it if the worst happens,” Brown said.
