**Unconstitutional Judgment: Michigan Supreme Court's Decision to Deny Refunds Sparks Outrage**
The Michigan Supreme Court's recent ruling against students seeking tuition refunds over disruptive COVID-19 policies has ignited a firestorm of criticism across the state.
In a decisive blow to the students’ claims, the court upheld lower court rulings that dismissed lawsuits filed against three state universities—Eastern Michigan University, Central Michigan University, and Lake Superior State University.
Their complaint centered around the argument that the universities' COVID-19 restrictions significantly interfered with their education and housing situations. However, the court determined that the universities did not breach any contractual obligations to their students.
With dissenting opinions from Justices David Viviano and Richard Bernstein, the ruling has raised eyebrows among advocates for student rights. Justice Viviano suggested that the tuition agreements do not constitute binding contracts capable of justifying the universities' actions during the pandemic.
Critics of the ruling argue that students deserve recourse for the chaotic disruptions they faced, calling into question the priorities of the universities and the courts in prioritizing institutional policies over the educational rights of students.
In a time when personal liberties and educational integrity are at stake, one must ask if the decision reflects an overreach of authority or an unjust dismissal of valid grievances.
As Michigan continues to navigate the fallout of the pandemic, this ruling stands as a reminder of the struggles many students faced, and it raises fundamental questions about accountability and governance in the education system.
