File Date
Hagens Berman has filed lawsuits against nearly a dozen colleges and universities across the country on behalf of tuition payers claiming the schools failed to repay losses due to COVID-19 and related campus closures. The suits pertain to tuition, room and board, and other expenses paid for during the spring 2020 semester. Our lawsuits allege that, at some schools, COVID-19 left students without the amenities they paid for, including dormitories, libraries, athletic complexes, in-person lectures and access to TAs, laboratories, student activities, internships and more. We intend to fight for your rights.
