Additional Information
Webster University has agreed to a $250,000 settlement to resolve allegations that it failed to provide adequate reimbursements to full-time in-person students for fees and unused meal plan balances during the 2020 Spring Semester.
The lawsuit claims that following the transition to online-only instruction due to COVID-19, students did not receive the full benefits associated with fees they paid, including Student Activity Fees, Housing Activity Fees, and Parking Fees. Additionally, certain students with unused Meal Plan balances were allegedly not appropriately reimbursed.
Webster denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to the settlement to resolve the claims.
