The lawsuit - yes I remember that in the news.
An unintended loophole in a state law changed in 2002 allowed students who reside in other states but graduate from NY state high schools to get in state tuition. As it was an unintended loophole, the SUNY Central policy was never updated to reflect that so SUNY Binghamton’s policy was never updated. Years after graduation, a couple of alum found out about the loophole and sued. For good measure they claimed the school deceived them because someone manning the booth at a recruiting fair told them they were not eligible as did someone answering a university email advice hotline.
