Students sue over tuition hike at George Washington Med School
A group of six medical students at George Washington University filed a District of Columbia suit seeking to block a $1,800 tuition increase to $5,000 claiming the school promised only a $200 rise through 1979 in its catalog. The case cites the catalog wording and questions whether future increases are binding and discusses broader federal funding and aid factors driving tuition costs.
