Nichole Rolfe, a former Baker College nursing student, was terminated from the private institution’s nursing program in 2013 after she questioned two different instructors on their lessons. Rolfe had questioned the lessons concerning vaccinations. Philip Ellison, Rolfe’s attorney, told The Argus-Press that Baker College “screwed up” when the administration terminated Rolfe from the nursing program. Ellison says that the compensation granted to Rolfe in the August 18 judgment is not nearly enough. He is already planning an appeal and hopes to significantly increase the amount Nichole will receive in damages.
“This judgment is the first step,” Rolfe’s attorney said. “They wrongfully dismissed this student and they screwed up.”
