Meeting about a plan and doing it are two different things. For the sake of the students, I hope you are right.
Even if Clayton doesn't do teach-out, Clayton still provided service to those students who began their studies before the school closed. Clayton isn't obligated to provide refunds. They had instructors to pay for those courses the students took with the school.
It's like going to your local unaccredited career school and half way through your studies the college is attacked by a terrorist, destroying the school. The college isn't obligated to refund your money. They had to staff to pay, building resources, and had to pay the instructors for the courses you took.
You'll just have to find someone else who will accept your credits. There are plenty of money hungry unaccredited schools who will accept credits from almost anywhere.
All Clayton has to do is send students their transcripts and that's that.
The students in the article seem to want Clayton to just hand them their PhD for the few courses they did with the school.
