A nursing student is suing some Misericordia University
officials after she failed to pass a course twice.
Jennifer Burbella of Stroudsburg said school officials
failed to abide by federal law.

Burbella was enrolled at Misericordia University in
Luzerne County, but her attorney said because of
disabilities including anxiety, depression, and stress, she
needed help.

Harry McGrath specializes in education law, representing
students, families, teachers, and administrators.

“She has some disabilities and under section 504 of The
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1973, you can make
certain accommodations, not only in educational setting,
but in the workplace, et cetera,” he said.

According to the federal lawsuit, Burbella asked for help
including extended time to complete exams, and
communication with a professor during a test.

She said Misericordia officials did not follow through on
those things, so she failed to pass the required course,
not once, but twice.
