I may have a lawsuit against former employer, but it's a college where I received a degree. Is this a bad idea?

I may have a labor dispute lawsuit against a former employer. It’s a college. While there I was able to get a free BS and MSEd for my wife, as well as an MS for myself. Problem being I was railroaded out and the way they did that may have actually been illegal, so I may have a suit against them. My ethical side keeps me wondering if this is “right” to do because they are also my alma mater. My beef isn’t with the entire school, just with my former boss and the HR director who pretty much orchestrated the plan to get me out of there. But the other side of me sees them doing this to others people over and over again, and also sees them constantly making their own rules, thus the planned litigation. I need input here! Thanks in advance!
