Northampton County Judge Emil Giordano made the ruling this afternoon in the lawsuit filed by graduate student Megan Thode for a grade she received in 2009.
Earlier Neil Hamburg, one of the lawyers representing Lehigh University, reminded Giordano that existing legal precedent from the United States Supreme Court bars courts from interfering in academic determinations except in the rarest of cases. Overruling the decision of a teacher or educational facility would undermine the entire academic system, he argued. The professors possess the experience and knowledge in their respected fields required for these decisions, not judges or juries.

If this nut job can't even interact with a college class, how did she plan on making this her career? Did she not realize she could have taken the class over?
Wasn't she sitting next to the First Lady during the State of Confusion address?
Her face looks like an F-.
Now she will sue her lawyer for not doing his job...lol.
Very very clever of this young lady.She has now had her 15 minutes,thus establishing herself.For those of you who don't know,the secret of success is to establish oneself via reputation.Had this self induced opportunity not have occurred she would have remained a virtual unknown.10 years from now that professor will (or may)realize what happened.She will be a raging success,laughing about the vehicle she created.She would have been greatly dissapointed if her grade had been elevated.Brilliant,simply brilliant.
On the other hand, her 15 minutes of fame may buy her the inability to get hired by anyone knowing the story and not wanting the risk of an employee that not only "can't make the grade," but will sue someone else for her not making it.
Not someone I'd want to hire.
What a pig.
