PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Three students have filed class-action lawsuits against Oregon’s two largest colleges saying they were charged full-price for online classes of poorer quality than in-person classes.
When the University of Oregon and Oregon State University closed their campuses because of the pandemic, they did not offer to refund any of their students’ tuition bills. The University of Oregon says on its website that in order to provide quality education, it cannot discount tuition.
The universities did agree to refund portions of their room and board.
