**Breaking**
A group of UC students led by UCSA and ASUC Senator Kashmiri have filed suit against the UC Regents for breach of contract-- in this case, raising student fees only days before classes were scheduled to start. The students claim that the Regents breached contracts for the price of spring semester and summer term when UC schools raised spring and summer tuition after students had already registered and been billed for classes. Those last-minute increases did not provide enough notice, leaving students and families without enough time to plan for them.They're seeking a reduction in fees to the level originally agreed on, an apology, and a refund. Plaintiff students seek injunctive, declaratory, and monetary relief, in the form of a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting the Regents from charging professional degree fees higher than the amount set at the time professional students first enrolled, a declaration that the defendants have breached their contracts with the students (both their promise not to raise professional degree fees during the term of enrollment and their promise not to raise fees for any term after a student has registered and been billed for the term), and compensatory damages in the form of a refund to all students who have paid the improperly increased fees.It's unclear to me what the refund text means. Do they mean a total refund of all fees paid for the summer, or just the extra amount the fees were raised to? Email This Post! |
