LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State University students are suing the university, asking for a refund on tuition during the coronavirus pandemic.
New York-based law firm Milberg Phillips Grossman is representing the students.
“Despite the cancellation of live in-person instruction, the constructive eviction of students at the University for the remainder of the semester, and the cessation of all campus activities for at least the same time period, the University has not offered adequate refunds of tuition, room and board, and fees paid to cover the cost of certain on-campus services which will no longer be available to students,” the firm wrote in a press release.
The suit claims MSU has not offered a partial tuition refund that reflects "difference in value of live instruction versus online learning."
Monday, MSU President Samuel Stanley said the school is losing between $50 million and $60 million.
Fox 47 has reached out to MSU for a comment and has not heard back at this time.
