Vanderbilt sued by former graduate student

"Kimberly Muhich is suing Vanderbilt University over a grant payback requirement, citing that Vanderbilt failed to inform her that the money guaranteed to her came from a federal grant, which requires repayment from the recipient.

The Chronicle of Higher Education reported on Sunday that Muhich filed suit in September 2011 over the grant, which would require her to either spend two years in service work for every year of financing, or pay back the amount of the grant plus interest.

Muhich began her four-year doctoral program in Peabody College of Education and Human Development in August 2010.  She claims that she did not hear about the payback plan until October 2010 when she had already begun receiving her $28,000-per-year stipend included in the grant."
