Webster University Sued Over Accusations of $75K in Unpaid Rent

Webster University, in Missouri, was sued this month over allegations that it hasn’t paid rent on a building it leases in downtown St. Louis, compounding the private nonprofit college’s financial difficulties. The university skipped out on rent payments from January through August of this year, according to the lawsuit filed in federal circuit court last week. The amount owed in rent and other expenses totals “well in excess of $75,000,” the lawsuit states.
