As Randall Chase reports for the AP, the University of Delaware has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by students seeking recovery of tuition and fees in connection with the University’s decision to close its campus in Spring 2020. The University agreed to pay $6.3 million to a class of 21,000 students, which comes out to $300 per student, but 1/3 of the $6.3 million goes to the attorneys, and the class representatives get $5000 each, and then there are $250,000 in reimbursements for expenses as well. So, the typical class member might see something like $200.
The settlement agreement was apparently reached in April, less than a month after the judge denied the university’s motion to dismiss and certified the class.
Hat tip, John Wladis.
