The suit argues refunds are warranted because students "did not choose to attend an institution that only offered an online education." A Webster University student has sued the school over its refusal to refund tuition or fees amid the switch to online learning during the pandemic, at least the third such local case. The suit says that McClanahan "does not challenge" Webster's decision "to effectively close its campuses and transition to online-only classes" because of the pandemic, but argues that refunds are warranted because she and others "did not choose to attend an institution that only offered an online education; instead, they chose and paid for the in-person services."
