A lawsuit has been filed in U.S. District Court against Northeastern University in Boston by students alleging the online education they are receiving is inferior to classroom education, Boston's WCVB (channel 5) website reports.
Northeastern shut down its campus on March 12, as COVID-19 spread through Massachusetts.
The leading plaintiff in the lawsuit, graduate student Manny Chong, is studying for a master's degree in counseling psychology. Chong said his degree requires face-to-face, in-person interaction.
"Instruction supplied substantially or entirely online has been recognized as pedagogically inferior by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association," the lawsuit claims.
