A Roanoke County jury has sided with 16 former Virginia Western Community College nursing students who claimed they were misled after the school didn't inform them that it lost its national nursing accreditation.

They're among 75 plaintiffs who were in the nursing program between 2005 and 2007 who have argued that the state - through VWCC - defrauded them and breached a contract for their education, harming their prospects for employment or for pursuing advanced degrees. The college was removed as a plaintiff in 2008.

The seven-person jury last week awarded each of the former students $47,000 on the fraud allegation. It also awarded 15 students $6,800 and $11,500 to the remaining student for breach of contract.

The Roanoke Times reports that another group's trial is scheduled for February.
