DiPerna v. Chicago School of Professional Psychology

Plaintiff filed suit against TCSPP, alleging breach of contract and negligence after the school disciplined plaintiff for posting an image to her personal Instagram account that TCSPP considered offensive. Plaintiff later alleged in her amended complaint claims related to her dismissal from the school for plagiarism. The Seventh Circuit held that plaintiff could not meet Illinois's high burden for student plaintiffs in relation to the decision to dismiss her for plagiarism, and summary judgment was proper as to that issue. Consequently, summary judgment was also appropriate concerning plaintiff's entitlement to living expenses and tuition as damages. The court also held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in deciding three motions in limine. View "DiPerna v. Chicago School of Professional Psychology" on Justia Law
