The suit by Marie Jacques also contends that Adelphi was racially motivated when it wrongfully dropped her from its adult nurse practitioner program one semester before she would have completed her master’s degree.
The Garden City, N.Y., university denies the allegations and asserted in court papers that it “acted reasonably and in good faith.” Adelphi also said students in Dr. Darylann Ficken’s course voluntarily self-segregated and that the program had a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason to drop Jacques because she received a C in that class.
