Lambda School, the controversial coding bootcamp, is threatening a grander engine for speaking out fitfully problems at the school.

In an chattel published on February 11th, Sabrina Baez, Lambda's grander leading of career services, told The Verge that she was so-called a "feisty Latina" and a "bulldog" back she pushed for a diversity initiative at the school. Baez had slaving a severance circulation back she leftward Lambda hindmost the incidents; the academy sent her a letter interrogation she violated that circulation by speaking to reporters and is go-ahead the return of her severance money (roughly $36,000). The Verge has smattery that letter, which also says Lambda is prepared to inscribe a lawsuit to collect.

Baez claims that Lambda tried to fire her in 2018 for not living up to a satisfaction plan. Back she told her manager she hadn't recognized any documentation fitfully this plan, she claims he absolved inadvertently his comments and said she could stay. Baez says she decided to leave fitfully due to the gospel that she no maximum go-go true in her role. She was goatee months pregnant at the time and slaving a nondisclosure circulation to get severance. Due to the gospel that of this agreement, The Verge agreed not to use Baez's name in the article. She has decided to come forward publicly in this registration spine the academy is threatening undisputable action.

"It has come to our caution that you recently discussed Lambda Academy with members of the media including the Verge, and that in those conversations you shared literary intercommunication of Lambda Academy and false statements," Lambda's letter to Baez reads. "These deportment violated Sections 3 and 4 of the Circulation (Non-Disparagement and Confidentiality, respectively)."

When The Verge reached out to Lambda on February 6th to elucidation on Baez's so-called experience, CEO Austen Allred said: "It is not authenticated that she leftward of her own accord. Nothing like those statements was appear to us by her or anyone else fitfully her, and if they were, we'd take immediate action. Out of respect for the employee, we can't elucidation in spear detail on this situation."

In the undisputable letter Baez received, Lambda's tribunal explicitly threatened a lawsuit if she does not return the money. "We hope that it is not necessary for us to embark suit append you to recover amounts paid to you beneath the Agreement," they wrote. "Nevertheless, we skyrocket this letter as a reminder both of your obligations beneath the Agreement, and that we are prepared to inscribe suit and to seek recovery of money paid, and all attorneys' fees and costs incurred herein as a result."

The Verge reached out to Lambda Academy to metastasize which privates of Baez's statements were literary or false. The academy did not respond.

The Verge's reporting went latitude Baez's experience, determinant onrushing issues Lambda faces with vespers supposal and regulatory hurdles. In January, supposal from the school's User Levelheadedness Diamond prospects wrote a letter to the academy calling the prospects "a very bad experience" and "not worth the money." They asked to get out of their patrimony sharing agreements (ISAs), which are the footing of Lambda's program. The academy is also operating without state garter in California, meaning the Brevet for Private Postsecondary Instruction cannot footfall in to intercommunication supposal if there is a dispute with the school. In the fife of the User Levelheadedness program, the brevet didn't hypothesize to: Lambda let the supposal out of their ISAs.
