BELLINGHAM, Wash. A former internal auditor at Western Washington University claims she was fired for being a Whistleblower, and has filed a lawsuit in Whatcom County Superior Court.
Antonia Allen alleges that staff and faculty in the Woodring College of Education were giving students credit for classes they didn’t attend so those students could receive federal financial aid.
Her lawsuit claims she alerted the university and the Department of Education to her conclusions in an effort to protect the school from fines and penalties.
She alleges that she was fired in November 2019 for exposing what she says were “ghost classes” and other ethics violations by faculty.
