The majority of this group keeps discussing the $60K to $100K online tuition price tag. Question. Would it be fraud if it was only $10K to $15K for the same experience at USC? The online tuition price tag isn't a main component of the lawsuit, and I don't understand why everyone keeps discussing it. The lawsuit is about false rankings and paying for USC education and not receiving it, instead it was outsourced to 2U.
Here is the court filing. https://defendstudents.org/news/body/202...plaint.pdf
Did you read this?
"10. Plaintiffs bring this lawsuit on behalf of themselves and the class of similarly situated
USC Rossier students who paid tuition that they would not have otherwise paid (or would have paid
substantially less), had they not been drawn in by USC Rossier’s fraudulently obtained US News
ranking. Defendants’ misleading, years-long scheme to boost USC Rossier’s US News ranking and
related efforts to disseminate that ranking via a long-term false advertising campaign, violated
California’s False Advertising Law (“FAL”) (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17500), California’s Unfair
Competition Law (“UCL”) (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200), and California’s Consumer Legal
Remedies Act (the “CLRA”) (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1750 et seq.)."
Yes, I read and that makes my point. I will repeat my prior post.

Quote from the article "But the real news from this legal challenge is the inherent implication that USC’s online program is not as good as its in-person one. If it was the same or better, where’s the basis for the legal complaint? But the suit makes it clear that what USC and 2U were selling and delivering were not – are not – the same. "
