[edit] History

In July 2006, the school filed a lawsuit against "John and Jane Doe", one or more anonymous Wikipedia users accused of posting libelous information in the article about this school.[5] The lawsuit allows the school to subpoena account information for the alleged offender's IP address from their ISP.[6]

According to the Associated Press [5], the comment in question is as follows: “It’s (sic) tuition is ridiculously high, too. Not to mention you get an awful education there. They put more emphasis on sports than they do education. No wonder almost all kids there are complete idiots.”
