The University of Alabama is being sued by a private foundation who claims that the institution broke a contract by taking over $1.3 million for a scholarship program for first-generation students.
Filed by the Suder Foundation in July 2015, the lawsuit claims breach of contract, anticipatory breach of contract, promissory estoppel, and unjust enrichment. The group is asking for the funds to be returned, as well as attorneys and court fees and pre- and post-judgment interest.
