BOSTON<\/span>,  Hecht Partners LLP filed a class action lawsuit today against the Trustees of Boston University<\/span> on behalf of its students.  The plaintiff alleges that Boston University<\/span> wrongly charged her and her classmates full tuition for the Spring 2020 semester but canceled all in-person classes and extracurricular activities after March 6<\/span> through the end of the semester due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  The University replaced the full university experience—for which students pay dearly at this private institution—with online instruction of inferior value.  BU has refused to refund any of the tuition on a pro rata or other basis.<\/p>\n

“Both independent research studies and BU’s own website reflect that online classes are not equivalent to in-person classes and should not cost as much,” said Conor McDonough<\/span>, a partner at Hecht Partners LLP who represents the plaintiff.  “Students also have lost access to additional benefits BU promised to provide on campus, like in-person tutoring, discussion sessions, laboratory facilities, and athletic activities.  These students’ experiences have changed completely.  BU should do the right thing and adjust this semester’s tuition costs accordingly.”<\/p>\n

The case is Bornstein v. Trustees of Boston University<\/span><\/em>, Case No. 2084CV00962, in Suffolk County Superior Court in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
