  • Kashmiri v. UC Regents Class Action Settlement

    I get an envelope in the mailbox. Through the window, I see:

    Kashmiri v. Regents of the University of California
    Class Action Administrator
    [their address]

    April 30, 2010

    Jonathan P Tsai
    [my old Berkeley address]

    The letter was forwarded from my previous address.

    For more than a year, I had I heard about a class action suit vs UC Regents for students who overpaid tuition from year X to year Y, because UC had over-charged.. I thought it was going to be a check for $$$$$$.

    I open it...

    $5.82

    "Five And 82/100 Dollars"

    All that for not even $6.

    Talk about anti-climactic
