Cornell University is settling a class-action suit brought by students enrolled at the university when it transitioned to virtual instruction amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The suit was initially filed by Alec Faber in April 2020. Mr Faber was enrolled at Cornell in the spring 2020 semester, when the campus went into lockdown. He accused the Ivy League school of breaching its contract and of unjust enrichment as a result of its decision to shut down some of its services and switch to virtual instruction.
