A federal appellate court has dismissed a case filed by two Oregon State University students alleging the school breached contracts with them by moving classes online during the COVID-19 pandemic yet still charged full tuition.
In an opinion issued on July 8, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit unanimously upheld a lower court’s ruling, which found that the plaintiffs could have taken the full refund the university had offered.
