$193 each

Chump change compared to private university tuition costs. Even the $10k to the named plaintiffs isn't spectacular. (Tuition is $32,350 a semester per a quick internet search; the $193 doesn't even cover the annual "Student Fees" of $290.)

It’s not a lot of money, true. But these lawsuits and payouts will help to deter future lockdowns. That is a definite plus.

I never enter class action lawsuits because they are designed to make the lawyers rich and everyone else gets a pittance.

Yea, first thing I noticed right away. Granted, the students still did receive the "education", just as remote classes instead of in-person. Good for some, but I think most would prefer in-person. So I'm sure that's why the total amount wasn't closer to full tuition for every student.
