No. 317. Tuition refunded if no job offered within 90 days. The Commission advised that it could not rule on advertising for a school which would offer a refund of all charges for tuition, registration and incidental fees to its graduates who do not receive an offer of employment within 90 days after graduation. The offer will be subject to the following three qualifications: 1. It. will not be made to students eligible for imminent draft into the armed forces.
2. The student must use the placement service of the school and must be available for interviews.
8. The student must work at placement through other sources. Although the advertising did not so state, the offer of employment would not be considered valid by the school unless the offer is limited to the geographic area specified in the student’s application form. Because the proposed plan may be subject to such a wide variety of interpretations, and also depending upon the manner and extent of its implementation, the Commission expressed the view that it was not in a position to rule upon the legality of the plan.
