Mills College Students File Class Action Lawsuit Against Mills College

Plaintiff Willa Cordrey began attending Mills College in August 2019. Ms. Cordrey was enrolled in Mills’ “4+1” program, which would have allowed her to receive her Bachelor’s degree in Education, Master’s degree in Education, and a California teaching credential, all within five years. Mills College repeatedly misled Ms. Cordrey about her ability to graduate and get her teaching credential through Mills College, before finally stating that the best they could do is allow her to receive her Bachelor’s in Communications or a similarly unrelated major through Northeastern University, with no path to receive her teaching credential. “I loved Mills, and I loved my program,” said Ms. Cordrey. “I wanted to learn how to teach at Mills, because I felt that my classes and professors were preparing me to be the kind of teacher I wanted to be. I did everything I could to complete my education at Mills. The administration had an obligation to their current students, and they have failed us.” Ms. Cordrey is in the process of finding a college to transfer to for the upcoming academic year.

Independent analysis confirms:

Mills is viable

* After reaching record enrollment, the student recruitment focus was narrowed and the student body shrank.
* Tenured faculty fired.
* Faculty denied a cost-of-living increase for almost 10 years.

meanwhile... administrative spending grows until it completely exceeds all other budgets,
even the budget for instruction.

UPDATE: '20-'21 MILLS AUDIT IS IN!  

• Administrative Spending Up $3.6M

• Positive Cash Flow, Debt Paid Off: $2.3M

• Endowment Grew 20%; Value $225.6M

$23.6M was spent on Administration which is $6.6M MORE than it spent on Instruction.

In Perspective: It's about $12M more on Administration compared to similarly sized colleges.

SAFE SPACE

For 169 YEARS, Mills has always provided underserved students access to a top-ranked college education. This diverse community that includes the largest LGBTQ student population of any U.S. College, students of color and moms, along with traditional aged students, will lose out when this 

is GONE.

lgbtq

In a letter to President Hillman, a small group of alumnae blame the 58% LGBTQ student body for the college's financial issues - calling them a "marketing problem." To compound the statement even further,

the President, a lesbian herself,

has remained silent.

"MARKETING PROBLEM"

One of the oldest LGBTQ refuges in America is on the verge of being erased.

Student perspective

Mills students are in the midst of transferring. Hear from a recent transfer who is now at Susan Mills' alma mater, Mt. Holyoke

(class of 1845). Susan received her undergraduate degree at

Mt. Holyoke, taught for several years around the world and eventually founded Mills College where she

served as President for 19 years.
