U.S. District Judge Ronnie L. White approved a $1.65 million settlement Wednesday between the St. Charles university and a class action group of students led by Dylan Martin, of Eldon, Missouri. Each student will receive roughly $185, and the students' attorneys will receive roughly $550,000. "We think this is a fair and reasonable settlement," Lindenwood's attorney Kyle Seelbach said in a hearing. The suit against Lindenwood was one of several filed across the country by students who claimed they overpaid when classes went online. A similar class action case filed by Washington University students was dismissed by a federal judge in March.
