Settlement finalized in class action pandemic lawsuit against RPI

A settlement has been finalized in a class action lawsuit against RPI that involved the pandemic.

A settlement has been finalized in a class-action lawsuit against Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

A federal district court judge granted final approval of a $6.5 million settlement.

The lawsuit alleges that students enrolled at RPI did not get an in-person, on-campus education after the school transitioned to remote learning during the pandemic.

The settlement includes all students enrolled during the spring and summer semesters in 2020.
