In the case of Hickey v. University of Pittsburgh, No. 21-2016 (3d. Cir. Aug. 11, 2023), the Third Circuit Court of Appeals held that a district court erred in part in dismissing students’ complaint for a refund of tuition and fees after their university transition to fully remote instruction in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The court found that the students have plausibly alleged that they had an implied contract for on-campus schooling in exchange for their tuitions and fees.
The district court Order was affirmed in part and reversed in part and remanded in part.
