Keller v. Bd. of Trustees of Cal. State Univ.
Plaintiffs, current and former students at various campuses within the California State University (CSU) system, filed a class action lawsuit against defendant the Board of Trustees of CSU (defendant or Board). Plaintiffs alleged defendant breached its contract with students and violated the covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied in that contract when, having required plaintiffs to pay a mandatory State University Fee (fee) or non-resident tuition for the Fall 2009 academic term at specific lower amounts, it then increased the amount twice—a 10 percent increase in May 2009 and an additional 20 percent increase in July 2009. The trial court denied plaintiffs’ motion for summary adjudication on the breach of contract claim and granted summary adjudication for CSU on that cause of action, finding no breach of the implied contracts between CSU and its students.
