ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Central Ohioans who claimed Ohio
University classes fell short of expectations have agreed to pay $4,750
in a settlement with the school.
The university had countersued
for nearly $9,300 in tuition and fees after Joshua and Lisa Golden of
Westerville filed a lawsuit last year over accounting and macroeconomics
courses they both took.
The Athens Messenger reports the Goldens
argued they shouldn’t have to pay for the classes. They claimed an
instructor failed to show up, that equipment malfunctioned, and other
issues.
The university denied the allegations while acknowledging that bad weather delayed one class by up to 20
minutes.
Neither side admits any wrongdoing in the settlement entered earlier this month.
