Closed college sued ex-student for $28,000 over $10,000 debt

Newbury College in Massachusetts closed in 2019 and ceased operating as a nonprofit in 2022. However, former student Cesarina Barros was sued for $28,000 in unpaid tuition and interest in 2025. She had left the college in 2009 owing $10,000, believing its eventual closure would end her financial obligation. The case raises questions about debt collection.
