"Now universities are not delivering those services that students and their families have paid for and it's not fair for the universities with multi-million dollar endowments to keep all of the money that students and their families have paid."
"The lawsuit estimates IU owes students nearly $2.4 billion in reimbursements."
I wonder how they are getting those numbers. From the Herald-Times article on the story:
A cost comparison of online and in-person tuition was included in the document. It shows the cost of earning an undergraduate degree in informatics for an Indiana resident living on campus as $43,792, and $146,048 for out-of-state residents. The same degree earned online would cost $30,000 for Indiana residents and $42,000 for out-of-state residents, according to the document.Certainly they can't be wanting a refund for 4 years of education for 6 weeks of classes? The $2.4 billion seems way too high to be the amount for 1/2 a semester at the lower rate for online learning. If I take 2.4 billion and divide it by 111,000 students it comes up to $21,621 per student. Even with athletic and technology fees, that seems way high fir 1/2 a semester.
The university is not entitled to keep money for services it is not delivering, Roy Willey, an attorney representing the plaintiff, said in a statement.
Ya the amount seems off but I can’t be argued that students are getting the product they purchased
