Remote Learning During COVID-19
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many colleges and universities have
switched entirely to remote online learning in place of in-person classes.
Federal law requires that covered educational institutions provide equal
access for students with disabilities to its programs and services. In
the context of online learning, for example, this might include providing
captioning services for a student with hearing loss or screen-reader access
for a student who is blind. If you or a loved one have been denied equal
access to an educational institution’s online learning program,
please contact our Civil Rights and Impact Litigation group.
If you have difficulty using or accessing this website, please contact us at
(877) 344-4628 or
online and we will work with you to provide the information or item you seek
through an alternate communication method that is accessible for you consistent
with applicable law.
On-Campus Housing And Meal Plans During COVID-19
In the wake of COVID-19, colleges and universities have closed dorms and
on-campus housing. Many students have been forced to leave the residences
and meal plans they had paid for. Depending on the terms of the contract
or agreement for on-campus housing, students may be entitled to a refund.
If you or someone you know had been forced out of housing and interested
in learning more about your rights, please contact our Civil Rights and
Impact Litigation group.
School Discrimination
Every student deserves equal access to education no matter the student’s
race, color, national origin, disability, religion, orientation, identity,
or sex. Students deserve to have their complaints taken seriously if they
aren’t being treated fairly by students or school staff. If you
believe you or someone you love has been denied their right to a full
and fair education and is being discriminated at school, please contact
our Civil Rights and Impact Litigation group.
Unfair Student Loan Practices
Student loan companies and the companies that they work with may be taking
advantage of borrowers. There are a wide variety of ways in which a borrower
could be harmed. For example, if you have student loans and your lender
or guarantor isn’t following the loan agreement or is changing the
terms on you, you may be able to take legal action. If a debt collector
is involved in trying to collect on your loan, the debt collector needs
to follow certain legal requirements, including not calling you between
9 p.m. and 8 a.m. If you have questions regarding your student loans,
please contact our Civil Rights and Impact Litigation group.
For-Profit School Scams
Some for-profit schools simply don’t have their students’ best
interests in mind and will do whatever it takes to increase profits. For
example, to increase enrollment numbers, some schools will lie about job
placement numbers, mislead students about accreditation status, and illegally
incentivize admissions counselors in an effort to get more students in
the door. Schools will often prey on vulnerable populations. If you believe
you are a victim of a for-profit school scam, please contact our Civil
Rights and Impact Litigation group.
