A Yale University student from Ohio has sued the Ivy League school in federal court seeking a refund of tuition from when the university went from in-person learning to online this past spring.
Jonathan Michel claims the online experience was inferior and that Yale breached its contract with him and other students and unjustly enriched itself when it did not refund tuition. His lawyers are seeking class action status so that they can represent other students.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in New Haven.
Karen Peart, a spokeswoman for Yale, said the university believes the lawsuit is legally and factually baseless and that it intends to mount a vigorous defense.
“Yale acted to protect the community by moving quickly and effectively to online classes, which allowed students to complete the semester safely,” Peart said. “Yale also provided students with prorated refunds for the room and board that they were unable to use."
