Don't Send your Children to ITB

    It's generally accepted that your third level education is a property right. Property Rights are subject to Lawful Judicial procedure, and nobody can deprive you of that right unfairly.

    (3) 2° "The State shall, in particular, by its laws protect as best it may from unjust attack and, in the case of injustice done, vindicate the life, person, good name, and property rights of every citizen."
    After a while searching online, I cannot find anything that states education is a property right, with regards to Ireland (after searching for a little while to find out what a property right is, still not too sure).

    It's been a few years since I started in ITB, but I don't remember getting a handbook for my course (probably did, but binned by now). But if you attempted to sue a college for not providing a service stated in the handbook, I'm pretty sure the college would say it due to funding cuts, and most judges will side with the college.

    Still, I don't accept that the handbook is a legally binding contractual agreement. Other things may be, but I believe the college would have agreements meaning they can change what they want, when they want, with regards to course material.

    This thread again eh?

    I believe it's run its course. If anyone disagrees then please feel free to pm me.

    I also don't believe the handbook is legally binding, unless otherwise stated in the handbook, or the college's terms and conditions.

    Furthermore, sue the college. Sue them like crazy. Let us know how you get on.

    Locked.
