Students Can Sue Colleges: Ending Forced Arbitration.

New law ensures students have the right to sue their colleges or universities in court if they have disputes. Institutions will no longer be able to force students into private arbitration or restrict their right to a court trial.
Key points
Students gain the right to sue colleges in court instead of being forced into arbitration.
Colleges cannot limit students' right to a court trial, including jury trials or class action lawsuits.
The changes will take effect one year after the law is passed.
