California facing student lawsuits over shuttered colleges

Published



Several lawsuits filed by students against the University of California and California State University systems are making their way through the courts as students try to recoup some money after most schools cancelled in-person classes over the past several weeks due to coronavirus outbreaks.

The plaintiffs are seeking some type of refund and claim an online degree does not carry the same prestige. The lawsuits could cover some 750,000 students if they are classified as class action. The University of San Diego, a private school, is facing a similar lawsuit.
