As Metropolitan Community College board members had voted last month to do, the school filed suit Friday against Nebraska's five other community colleges, seeking millions of dollars.

The 25-page lawsuit, filed in Lancaster County District Court, alleges that Metro lost more than $10.8 million as a result of the state's miscalculations and the other colleges' misrepresentations.

Metro was kicked out of the state's community college association earlier this year for failing to pay its annual dues. The withheld dues, officials have said, protested what they believed was unfair treatment by other colleges in the association.

A phone message left by the Associated Press with the state's community college association wasn't immediately returned Friday.
