What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Utah
I recently resigned from a position at a company and they just mailed me a bill for tuition repayment. The policy is tuition must be repaid if you are terminated or leave under your own free will for any tuition paid over the last 12 months. I have not responded to the letter yet but I would argue I did not leave under my own free will because I left because of criminal activity at the company. I was being asked to participate and commit illegal acts while employed there. Because of this I left the company. I am currently assisting law enforcement in the investigation and there is an ongoing criminal investigation into the actions of the company. Does this hold any legal ground to not repay the company?
