What can I do about a college program that was shown on my college website and does now not exist?
I moved from Lawrence, Kansas to Portland, Oregon for a Writing Associates I saw offered at one of their community colleges. I took the time to see an counselor, and was told that the Writing Associates does not exist. There is a PDF file that specifies the curriculum, with a heading that states ‘Writing’ or ‘Writing Program’ on the college website. I was extremely upset to discover this, seeing as I moved almost 2,000 miles to participate in this program. It was one of my motivating factors for moving. Does anyone have any advice or knowledge regarding this matter?

It doesn’t make much sense that you moved across country for a program, because even if it did exist, there was no guarantee that you would be accepted into it. You should have contacted them first, to make sure you stood a chance of getting in. What isn’t clear is if the program ever existed. If the school had advertised a random program in the hope of attracting students, that would be bait and switch, and if you could afford it, you could sue to recover your moving costs. If the program once existed, but was discontinued for this year, they had a right to place the curriculum on their website.

Tell them to go screw themselves and update their website, then find another college. there are thousands of programs in the States, so there have to be a couple good ones near Portland.
