dc.description.abstractWhen COVID-19 hit, thousands of college students were forced to switch from attending classes in person to receiving an online education. In the eyes of many, they got shortchanged. Colleges and universities argued that they were permitted to change any part of their mode of course delivery due to circumstances beyond their control. Was the difference significant enough to lead to a legally required prorated tuition refund? The Texas Supreme Court recently wrestled with a class action suit on this issue.
