耶鲁大学Executive MBA项目学生Thierry Rignol因被控作弊而遭到严厉处分，已对学校提起13项联邦诉讼。[1]根据诉讼，Rignol支付了208,500美元的学费参加该项目，却因"Sourcing and Managing Funds"课程的作弊指控被停学一年，并在该课程中获得F评分。[1]
Rignol声称自己是"顶尖学生，预计将以班级第一名的成绩毕业"，但这些处分使他失去了班级致辞人（valedictorian）的荣誉。[1]
Thierry Rignol, an Executive MBA student at Yale University, has filed a 13-count federal lawsuit against the institution after being suspended for one year and receiving an F grade in a course on grounds of academic dishonesty [1]. Rignol paid $208,500 in tuition for the Executive MBA program [1] and claims he was a top student on track to graduate first in his class [1]. The disciplinary action cost him the opportunity to serve as class valedictorian and prevented him from achieving highest honors [1].
The dispute centers on Rignol's performance in a course titled "Sourcing and Managing Funds," where he received the failing grade [1]. Rignol's legal action challenges Yale's determination that he violated academic integrity standards, with the lawsuit containing 13 separate federal counts against the university [1].
