One student has filed a class-action lawsuit against the Ivy League school claiming that even though Columbia followed the rules by closing its campus and offering all its classes online, the school refuses to give back any tuition and fees paid by the students. The student filed anonymously for fear of reprisals.
According to some documents, the student says they are entitled to their money back because even though the school is offering online classes, they do not provide the benefits they have already paid for upfront, such as face to face instruction, access to campus facilities, and student activities.
