The class action lawsuit of such students against universities first began in April this year. There were very few cases at first, but in May and June, it started? Unprecedented experts predict that the number of lawsuits may increase further in the future.
A student said:? One of the values of offline teaching lies in establishing permanent friendship with students around you. After the online class, I feel that I have lost contact with other students and teachers. ?
After attending the online class, he felt that the quality of teaching also dropped sharply. For example, in the advanced strategic management theory class, the professor even just uploaded his notes and PPT to the Internet. Allen said? That professor's lecture is really great. Originally, I wanted to choose more of his classes, but I think it's not worth it if I just send us some information. But why hasn't the tuition changed? ?
Lawyer Steve? Berman also believes that universities replace face-to-face teaching with online teaching, which actually deprives college students of their real college life. ? College students do not go to college to waste loans. Showing them PPT and taking online classes is not really what college education looks like. ?
The college student mentioned in the indictment that the university either refused to refund the tuition fees in full or only refunded a small part. In this regard, lawyer Willie said: Every university should fairly refund the corresponding tuition and accommodation fees to each college student according to its own actual situation. ?
Newsweek pointed out that whether it is appropriate for universities to use online teaching instead of offline teaching ultimately requires the court to make a ruling and calculate the difference between the two. Some experts said that this may be an opportunity to promote tuition reform in American universities.
