Keith Fernandez v. The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, et al.

Petitioner is a graduate of Harvard College with an Honorary Degree in Economics and Wharton Business School with his M.B.A. in Finance. He filed Suit against Wharton Business School in 2019 in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for Breach of Contract and Ethnicity Discrimination related to the awarding of the Academic Excellence Fellowship for 2018. This Fellowship is awarded to the student or students with the highest cumulative GPA during their second and third semesters of the MBA program. During the awarding of the Fellowship, the Petitioner became suspicious of the behavior of Wharton Administrators. They told the Petitioner in an email that two students had a .01 higher GPA and that he would not be receiving the Fellowship. They intentionally stained the Petitioner, were acting evasively and refused to provide the Petitioner with corroborating information or further detail on the awarding of the Fellowship. The Petitioner later became aware, through informal discovery on the two winning recipients, that Wharton administrators were lying and covering up defrauding the Petitioner by awarding the Valedictorian Scholarship to a student or students with the same and/or lower GPAs than the Petitioner.
