Podcast: Defending Tuition Refund Class Actions
Since March 2020, more than 200 tuition refund class actions have been filed against colleges and universities due to COVID-19 campus closures. More cases are expected to be filed in the coming months. In this American Bar Association podcast, Pierce Atwood litigation and class action attorney Melanie Conroy and former partner Don Frederico describe the cases, discuss the legal challenges they present, the likely defenses available to the schools, and the potential outcomes of the disputes.
