American Universities and Colleges face new problems. The graduating students are not getting jobs and in turn have started suing the colleges to get back their staggeringly high tuition costs.

recent college graduate is suing her alma mater for $72,000 -- the full cost of her tuition and then some -- because she cannot find a job.

Trina Thompson, 27, of the Bronx, graduated from New York's Monroe College in April with a bachelor of business administration degree in information technology.

These colleges charge humongous tuition fees expecting the employers to do the hiring part. The business model is faulty. The colleges and universities just cannot take it for granted that the employers will keep hiring their graduates in rain and in shine. The colleges should not promise false job hopes. The skills they provide other than professional fields like law, medicine, and engineering are not marketable well during a recession.

It is time for colleges and universities to rethink their business models, cut cost, and restructure the tuitions to affordable levels.
