INDEX NO.: 2011/000064
VERIFIED PETITION
DATE INDEX NUMBER PURCHASED: 01/07/2011
Petitioners Strum, Beer and Balsam (“Petitioners”) individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, allege:
NATURE OF THE ACTION
1. The State University of New York (“SUNY”) historically has charged tuition to New York
State residents at a rate that is approximately half of the rate charged to students who are not
residents of New York State. But in 2002, the New York State legislature enacted a law requiring
SUNY to charge tuition to certain non-residents at a rate no greater than that charged to residents.
Generally speaking, this requirement applies to any student who, although resident outside of New
York State, nonetheless attended and graduated from high school within New York State. The
2
Petitioners (New Jersey residents at the time of the application to SUNY) all attended Binghamton
University, part of the SUNY system, after having graduated from a New York State high school,
but Respondents disregarded their statutory obligations and charged them tuition at rates nearly
twice that charged to New York State residents.
2. Petitioners had no idea that they were entitled to pay tuition at the resident rate until after
they finished attending SUNY Binghamton — the reason being that Respondents have engaged in a
persistent pattern of deceptive and misleading conduct designed to obfuscate the ability of
applicants to discover the rule requiring SUNY to charge the resident tuition rate to this particular
category of non-residents. Indeed, SUNY has affirmatively misrepresented these students’ rights to
be charged less in tuition.
3. To remedy this blatant injustice, Petitioners bring this action on behalf of themselves
individually and on behalf of the class of persons who similarly have been wrongfully overcharged
by Respondents. This Petition seeks a refund of all such overcharged tuition and damages resulting
from Respondents’ unfair and deceptive practices and unjust enrichment, along with attorneys’ fees
and other costs and disbursements.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE
24. This court has jurisdiction under CPLR § 301 and CPLR § 7801 et seq.
25. Venue is appropriate in this court under CPLR 503(a) and/or 506(b).
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
26. Petitioners bring this action on behalf of themselves and a class (“Class”) comprised of any
person who qualified for the lower tuition and fees that New York State Education Law section
7
355(2)(h)(8) dictates but was overcharged in direct contravention thereof.
Facts Specific to Petitioner Strum
27. Petitioner Strum (then Sara Kagel) graduated from high school at the Yeshiva of Flatbush
High School in Brooklyn, New York (“Yeshiva High School”) in 2004, after attending and
completing four years of high school there.
28. Petitioner Strum resided in New Jersey while she attended Yeshiva High School, which is
located in New York.
29. In or around the Summer/Fall of 2003, Petitioner Strum inquired with representatives of
SUNY, at New York State college fairs, about how to qualify to be charged the in-state tuition rate
for attendance at SUNY Binghamton.
30. In connection with each inquiry, Petitioner Strum explained that she resided in New Jersey
but attended and would graduate from high school in New York.
31. In response to each inquiry, Petitioner Strum was told that she could only qualify to pay
tuition at the rate charged to in-state residents if she established New York State residency by
receiving mail at a home address within New York State for a period in excess of one year and/or
by establishing permanent employment within New York State and by filing paperwork necessary
to prove these residency factors. Never did any SUNY representatives mention New York State
Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8) or that SUNY is required to charge the in-state tuition rate to non-
residents who have graduated from New York high schools within five years of application.
32. In or around the Fall/Winter of 2003/2004, Petitioner Strum applied for admission to
Binghamton University.
33. Petitioner Strum’s application indicated that she was an out of state resident at the time of
her application.
8
34. Petitioner Strum’s application indicated that she graduated from, and attended four years of
high school at, Yeshiva High School, located in New York State.
35. Upon information and belief, Yeshiva High School is, and at all relevant times was, an
“approved” high school for purposes of section 355(2)(h)(8).

beginning with the 2005 Fall Semester.
37. Petitioner Strum attended Binghamton University for four years and graduated in the Class
of 2009.
38. Throughout her attendance at Binghamton University, SUNY charged Petitioner Strum the
tuition generally applicable to out of state residents.
39. Over the course of her four years attending Binghamton University, Petitioner Strum paid
approximately $42,000 in tuition.
40. On information and belief, during the course of Petitioner Strum’s four years attending
Binghamton University, the tuition charges that SUNY imposed for students who were residents of
the State of New York was less than half of the $42,000 that Petitioner Strum paid.
Facts Specific to Petitioner Beer
41. Petitioner Beer graduated from high school at the Yeshiva High School in 2005, after
attending and completing four years of high school there.
42. Petitioner Beer resided in New Jersey while she attended Yeshiva High School, which is
located in New York.
43. In or around the Summer/Fall of 2004, Petitioner Beer applied for admission to Binghamton
University.
44. Petitioner Beer’s application indicated that she was an out of state resident at the time of her
9
application.
45. Petitioner Beer’s application indicated that she graduated from, and attended four years of
high school at, Yeshiva High School, located in New York State.
46. SUNY accepted Petitioner Beer’s application and admitted her to Binghamton University,
beginning with the 2005 Fall Semester.
47. Petitioner Beer requested, and was granted, a deferral from SUNY for the 2005-2006 school
year to study abroad.
48. Petitioner Beer thereafter attended Binghamton University for three years and graduated
with the Class of 2009.
49. Throughout her attendance at Binghamton University, SUNY charged Petitioner Beer the
tuition generally applicable to out of state residents.
50. Over the course of her three years attending Binghamton University, Petitioner Beer paid
approximately $38,000 in tuition.
51. On information and belief, during the course of Petitioner Beer’s three years attending
Binghamton University, the tuition charges that SUNY imposed for students who were residents of
the State of New York was less than half of the $38,000 that Petitioner Beer paid.
Facts Specific to Petitioner Balsam
52. Petitioner Balsam graduated from high school at the Yeshiva High School in 2003, after
attending and completing four years of high school there.
53. Petitioner Balsam resided in New Jersey while she attended Yeshiva High School, which is
located in New York.
54. In or around the Summer/Fall of 2002, Petitioner Balsam applied for admission to
Binghamton University.
10
55. Petitioner Balsam’s application indicated that she was an out of state resident at the time of
her application.
56. Petitioner Balsam’s application indicated that she graduated from, and attended four years of

59. Throughout her attendance at Binghamton University, SUNY charged Petitioner Balsam the
tuition generally applicable to out of state residents.
60. Over the course of her four years attending Binghamton University, Petitioner Balsam paid
approximately $36,000 in tuition.
61. On information and belief, during the course of Petitioner Balsam’s four years attending
Binghamton University, the tuition charges that SUNY imposed for students who were residents of
the State of New York was less than half of the $36,000 that Petitioner Balsam paid.
* * *
62. Each of the Petitioners applied to SUNY within five years of receiving their New York State
high school diploma.
63. Each of the Petitioners was charged – and paid – tuition while at Binghamton in excess of
the tuition charged to students who were residents of New York State.
64. As such, Respondents illegally charged and collected tuition and fees from Petitioners in
direct contradiction to the mandate of New York State Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8).
11
Applicable Law
65. According to New York State Education Law § 355, Respondents were prohibited from
charging Petitioners and the Class members more for tuition and fees than it charged to students
who were residents of the State of New York. Section 355(2)(h)(8) provides, in pertinent part, as
follows:
[T]he payment of tuition and fees by any student who is not a resident of New York state . . . shall be paid at a rate or charge no greater than that imposed for students who are residents of the state if such student . . . attended an approved New York high school for two or more years, graduated from an approved New York high school and applied for attendance at an institution or educational unit of the state university within five years or receiving a New York state high school diploma.
N.Y. Educ. L. § 355(2)(h)(8)(i) (emphasis added).
66. SUNY Policy Document Number 7301, entitled, “Billing, Refunds, Collection and Write-
offs Policy for Tuition, Fees, and Other Charges,” states that “Tuition and fees collected in error or
in amounts in excess of the required amounts should be refunded.” (the “Refund Policy”).
67. Section 355(2)(h)(8)(i) imposes a duty upon Respondents, stated in mandatory language,
that any student who is an out-of-state resident but attended and graduated from an approved in-
state high school shall pay tuition and fees “at a rate or charge no greater than that imposed for
students who are residents of [New York].”
68. Respondents violated this mandate by charging Petitioners and each Class member more
than double the amount it imposed upon in-state residents during the relevant periods. As a result,
Petitioners and the Class members were and are due refunds in an amounts to be determined but
believed to be in excess of half of any tuition amounts that Petitioners and each Class member paid
to Respondents.
12
Respondents’ Misleading and Deceptive Practices
69. Upon information and belief, Respondents have engaged in a campaign of misleading and
deceptive conduct intended and designed to, and/or having the effect of, misleading the consuming
public about Respondents’ obligations to charge out-of-state students who graduated from New
York State high schools (and who otherwise meet the criteria set forth in New York State Education
Law § 355(2)(h)(8)) tuition at rates no higher than those charged to residents of New York State.
70. As stated above, upon Petitioner Strum’s inquiries, representatives of SUNY told Petitioner
Strum that she could only qualify to pay tuition at the rate charged to in-state residents if she
established New York State residency by receiving mail at a home address within New York State
for a period in excess of one year and/or by establishing permanent employment within New York
State and by filing paperwork necessary to prove these residency factors. None of the SUNY
representatives ever mentioned New York State Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8) or that SUNY is
required to charge the in-state tuition rate to non-residents who have graduated from New York high
schools within five years of application.
71. Recently, in response to an inquiry to SUNY regarding non-resident tuition under New York
Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8), via email to an address provided on SUNY’s website for tuition
inquiries ([email protected]), SUNY’s “Recruitment Response Center” in Albany, stated as
follows:
Thank you for your inquiry. SUNY campuses make decisions about residency. Typically, you are only considered a NY State resident if you will have lived in New York for at least 12 months prior to the beginning of your program at SUNY. I have never heard of this information. If any exception to this is granted, it would be granted by the campus to which you are applying, so you may contact them for more information. I hope this information has been helpful to you. John
13
Recruitment Response Center State University of New York State University Plaza Albany, NY 12246-0001 Phone: 800.342.3811 Email: [email protected]
(A true and correct copy of the foregoing email is annexed hereto as Exhibit A (emphasis added).)
72. Upon information and belief, SUNY’s published policies and procedures, including as
posted on the internet, fail to advise that non-resident applicants are entitled to be charged no more
than the rate charged to residents of New York State if such non-resident applicants satisfy the
requirements of New York State Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8).
73. The main page of SUNY’s website dedicated to explaining tuition and fees
(www.suny.edu/paying_tuition.cfm ) distinguishes between tuition rates charged to “New York
State Residents” and tuition rates charged to Out-of-State Residents. (A true and correct copy of
this webpage as it existed on January 3, 2011 is annexed hereto as Exhibit B.) That page does not
mention Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8) or SUNY’s statutory obligation to charge “Out-of-State
Residents” no more for tuition than that charged to “New York State Residents” pursuant to
Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8). A footnote next to the heading for “Out-of-State Residents” refers
to a link to more information about “residency status”; that footnote fails to note that Education
Law § 355(2)(h)(8) expressly applies only to non-residents and not to New York State Residents.
74. Further, following the “residency status” footnote link leads to a webpage entitled
“Residency.” (http://www.suny.edu/student/paying_residence.cfm) (A copy of this webpage as it
existed on January 3, 2011 is annexed hereto as Exhibit C.) While the page acknowledges the
significant difference between resident and non-resident tuition rates, and admits that “the
requirements can be complex,” the page also fails to mention New York State Education Law §
355(2)(h)(8) or SUNY’s statutory obligation to charge “Out-of-State Residents” no more for tuition
14
than that charged to “New York State Residents” pursuant to Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8).
Instead, the page describes “residency” as the equivalent of domicile in New York State for no less
than twelve months. The page mentions exceptions to the domicile rule, for “Military Personnel”
and “Immigrant, Non-Immigrant, and Undocumented Students.” Under the latter exception, the
page does say that “Undocumented Students who attend for at least two years and graduate from a
New York high school may be eligible for resident tuition”; however, the “Glossary of Terms”
immediately below that exception defines “Undocumented Students” as “[s]tudents unable to
document their lawful immigration status in the United States. In other words, the exception, as
defined, applies exclusively to immigrants from other countries.
75. Similarly, SUNY's current application for admission explains that the tuition “exception” for
New York high school graduates applies to “non-US citizens.” (A true and correct copy of SUNY’s
current application for admission is annexed hereto as Exhibit D (see page 3, regarding Questions
10a and 10b).)
76. SUNY's “Application for Residency for Tuition Billing Purposes” (a true and correct copy
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E and also can be found at
http://www.suny.edu/sunypp/documents.cfm?doc_id=287) makes no reference to New York
Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8) explicitly or implicitly. In fact, it requires applicants to affirm under
oath that they are “a bona fide legal Resident domiciled in the State of New York” and that “I
understand that providing false information knowingly will disqualify me from consideration for
New York State residency status” in order to complete the form. In other words, if Section
355(2)(h)(8) were governed by the Residency Policy, as Respondents have said in response to
Petitioners’ refund requests, it would be impossible to qualify for reduced tuition under Section
355(2)(h)(8), because that section expressly applies only to “any student who is not a resident of
15
New York State.” (Emphasis added.)
77. All of the foregoing (e.g., “I have never heard of this information” (see ¶ 71 above)) are
illustrative of an ongoing pattern and practice by Respondents of attempting to deceive and mislead
the consuming public, or at best to obfuscate or conceal the existence of Respondents’ obligations –
and the public's rights – under New York Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8) in a systematic effort to
overcharge students who meet the criteria set forth in Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8)), including
Petitioners and the members of the Class.
78. As a result of this pattern and practice, Petitioners and the members of the Class have been
overcharged for tuition in amounts to be proven.
79. As a result of this pattern and practice, Respondents have been unjustly enriched by virtue of
their overcharging of tuition to Petitioners and the members of the Class in amounts to be proven at
trial.
Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies
80. Petitioners have requested upon several occasions the refund of the amounts of tuition that
Respondents over-charged Petitioners, but Respondents have failed and refused to issue the refunds.
81. Upon learning that Respondents had overcharged her for tuition throughout her attendance
at SUNY Binghamton, Petitioner Strum began inquiring of Binghamton University about obtaining
a refund. Her requests began in October 2009 and continued for several months, both in emails,
telephone discussions, letters to the Office of University Counsel from Petitioner’s counsel, and
several phone discussions between Petitioner’s counsel and University Counsel. Initially,
University Counsel sought to re-cast Petitioner Strum’s request as an appeal of a residency
determination under SUNY’s residency policies. Petitioner’s counsel pointed out that that
Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8) applies only to non-residents (such that any determination of
16
residency was irrelevant), and University Counsel thereafter refused to respond to or otherwise rule
on Petitioner Strum’s request.
82. Eventually, due to University Counsel’s failure to respond to Petitioner Strum’s request,
Petitioner Strum instituted legal proceedings before this court, styled Kagel v. DeFleur, Index No.
2010-1087 (Hon. Ferris D. Lebous, Justice Presiding) (Sara Strum was then Sara Kagel). As
University Counsel had never ruled on Petitioner Strum’s request, by decision dated August 18,
2010, the Court dismissed the petition on the grounds that it was premature because the request had
not been subject to a final determination.
83. Although the Kagel petition was dismissed as premature, the substance of the case was the
subject of oral argument. (A true and correct copy of the transcript of oral argument is annexed
hereto as Exhibit F). The Court questioned the legal authority for SUNY’s position that its
“residency policy” could somehow alter the statutory mandate of Education Law § 355(2)(h)(8).
The transcript includes the follows commentary by the Court:
That’s a direction from the State of New York that says tuition shall be charged at this rate. . . . [I]f the University charges at a rate contrary to law, they can’t say, well, that’s our policy, unless you can show me that their policy can supersede the law.
(Exhibit F at 11:15-18.)
But you’ve got to show where the policies, where the SUNY – Binghamton or any other State University campus gets the authority to amend State law when it directs this is how tuition shall be charged. It doesn’t say except when the University has a contrary policy.
(Id. at 11:25-12:4.)
And that’s where I have my problem because the statute, to me, says that – unless we’ve got some authority – it says the payment of tuition and fees by any student shall be paid at a rate of. It says this is the rate that it will be paid at. It doesn’t say except if the University policy is contrary to this. I think it’s a little condescending, quite frankly, that the University things that, well, we’ll set our own rules for tuition and be damn what the State law says. The law says this is the rate, period.
17
Now, I haven’t seen any authority from anybody that says to me that by policy, by fiat, by the Divine Right of Kings or the grace of God the State University can decide here is how we’re going to charge tuition and I don’t care what State law says because this is our policy. That’s where I’m stuck.
(Id. at 14:23-15:16.) 84. Petitioners submit that there is not authority for the proposition that the Court questioned;
i.e., Respondents do not have the authority to promulgate policies contrary to Section 355(2)(h)(8).
To the contrary, Section 355(2)(h), in its preamble says Respondents are authorized “to regulate
tuition charges” for SUNY Institutions; subdivision (8) expressly requires that “[s]uch regulations
shall further provide” for reduced tuition for members of the Class described herein.
85. On September 13, 2010, University Counsel Barbara Scarlett Westbrook finally issued a
final determination to Petitioner, in a letter that said simply, “Please be advised that Binghamton
University denies your request for tuition reimbursement.” (A true and correct copy of this final
determination is annexed hereto as Exhibit G.)
86. By e-mail to University Counsel Barbara Scarlett Westbrook dated September 7, 2010,
Petitioner Balsam requested a refund of the tuition overcharged to her under Education Law §
355(2)(h)(8). Ms. Westbrook initially denied the request by email also dated September 7, 2010,
stating that “Your request for refund is not timely under the SUNY and BU residency policy.” (A
true and correct copy of Petitioner Balsam’s request and Ms. Westbrook’s response is annexed
hereto as Exhibit H.)
87. By letter to University Counsel Barbara Scarlett Westbrook dated September 9, 2010,
Petitioner Beer requested a refund of the tuition overcharged to her under New York Education Law
§ 355(2)(h)(8). (A true and correct copy of Petitioner Beer’s request is annexed hereto as Exhibit I.)
Neither Ms. Westbrook nor any other SUNY representative ever ruled on Petitioner Beer’s request.
18
88. By letter dated September 21 2010, Petitioners’ counsel wrote to Ms. Westbrook to request a
ruling on Petitioner Beer’s request and to clarify that Ms. Balsam’s request was for a refund under
SUNY’s refund policy, not a request for a residency determination. (A true and correct copy of
counsel’s September 21, 2010 letter is annexed hereto as Exhibit J.)
89. By letter dated October 7, 2010, Ms. Westbrook responded, saying merely that Petitioners
Beer and Balsam should proceed under SUNY’s residency policy. (A true and correct copy of Ms.
Westbrook’s October 7 letter is annexed hereto as Exhibit K.) Even though Petitioners Beer and
Balsam were not requesting or appealing residency determinations, and even though Ms. Westbrook
herself had ruled on Petitioner Strum’s request, Ms. Westbrook referred Petitioners Beer and
Balsam to the Residency Appeals Committee referred to in the Residency Policy.
90. In light of Ms. Westbrook’s refusal to respond substantively, Petitioners Balsam and Beer
(through their counsel) wrote to the Residency Appeals Committee (cc: Barbara Westbrook) on
November 1, 2010 to request a final determination on their requests. (A true and correct copy of
counsel’s November 1 letter to the Residency Appeals Committee is annexed hereto as Exhibit L.)
91. Respondents and the Residency Appeals Committee have failed and refused to rule on
Petitioner Beer’s refund request. Other than Ms. Westbrook’s September 7, 2010 email, Petitioner
Balsam has not received any ruling on her refund request.
92. By letter to the Residency Appeals Committee (cc: Barbara Westbrook) dated December 7,
2010 (a true and correct copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit M), Petitioner’s counsel
advised that, unless some response was issued by December 17, 2010, Petitioners Beer and Balsam
would take the Committee’s refusal to respond as a denial of their refund requests for purposes of
instituting legal proceedings. Neither the Residency Appeals Committee nor any other SUNY
representative ever responded to this letter or the refund requests.
19
93. In light of Respondents’ consistent refusal to respond to Petitioners Beer’s and Balsam’s
request, Ms. Westbrook’s initial denial of Petitioner Balsam’s request, and Ms. Westbrook’s denial
of Petitioner Strum’s refund request on substantially identical facts, any further administrative
review would be futile, such that Petitioners Beer and Balsam, along with the members of the Class,
are entitled to institute these proceedings at this time.
CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS
94. Petitioners brings this action as a class action, pursuant to Article 9 of the CPLR, on behalf
of the Class consisting of all similarly situated persons.
95. Specifically, the Class consists of any person who:
(a) attended an “approved” New York high school for two or more years or attended an
“approved” New York state program for general equivalency exam preparation;
(b) graduated from an “approved” New York high school or received a general equivalency
diploma issued within New York State;
(c) applied for attendance at a SUNY Institution within five years of receiving a New York
State high school diploma or general equivalency diploma issued within New York
State;
(d) was not a resident of New York State at the time of his or her payment of tuition and
fees, other than a non-immigrant alien within the meaning of paragraph (15) of
subsection (a) of section 1101 of title 8 of the United States Code; and
(e) while a student of any SUNY Institution, paid fees and tuition at a rate which was
greater than that imposed for students who were residents of the state of New York.
96. The Class satisfies the numerosity, commonality, typicality, adequacy, predominance, and
superiority requirements of CPLR 901.
20
97. The members of the Class are so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable.
98. Upon information and belief, SUNY's enrollment is one of the largest in the nation. These
enrollment figures do not take into account all of the students who were overcharged but are no
longer enrolled as students.
99. A report published by SUNY (“Fast Facts 2010) notes the size of its enrollment and alumni:
(a) SUNY estimates that as of December 2010 its alumni total more than two and a half
million. (2,589,335).
(b) SUNY estimates that as of December 2010, there were approximately 18,000 “Out-of-
State” students enrolled in SUNY Institutions (approximately 4% of SUNY’s published
enrollment for 2010-2011).
(c) SUNY estimates that in the 2008-2009 academic year it awarded 81,789 degrees.
100. Without the analysis of further data which is exclusively under the control of the
Respondents, the precise number of unique students who make up the Class cannot be ascertained
by Petitioners at this point.
101. Without the analysis of further data which is exclusively under the control of the
Respondents, the amount overcharged for each individual member of the class cannot be
ascertained by Petitioners at this point. Tuition and fees vary by SUNY institution, the type of
student (full or part-time), the years attended, the duration of attendance, and classification as in-
state or out-of-state residency. As of August 2009, the difference between tuition charged to New
York State residents and the tuition generally charged to non-New York State residents ranges from
approximately $200 to $600 per credit-hour (per semester) for part-time students and from
approximately $3,000 to $8,000 per year for full-time students.
102. Because Petitioners were improperly charged, and paid, tuition and fees in excess of the
21
amount charged to students who were residents of the New York State even though they satisfied all
of the requirements of New York Educ. Law 355(2)(h)(8), Petitioners' claims are typical of the
claims of the members of the Class. The harm suffered by Petitioners and all other Class members
was and is caused by the same conduct by Respondents, namely Respondents' wrongful imposition
and collection of tuition and fees in excess of the required amounts.
103. Petitioners will fairly and adequately represent and protect the interests of the Class, in that
Petitioners have no interests antagonistic to, nor in conflict with, the Class. Petitioners have retained
competent counsel to further ensure such protection and who intend to prosecute this action
vigorously.
104. A class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of
this controversy. The expense and burden of individual litigation, relative to the potential
individual damages (see ¶ 101 above), make it cost-prohibitive for individual Class members to
seek redress for the wrongful conduct alleged in this complaint. If Class treatment of these claims
were not available, Respondents would likely continue its wrongful conduct, and would unfairly
retain and receive many hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in unlawfully charged and
collected tuition and fees. Further, due to Respondents’ efforts to hide Section 355(2)(h)(8) (as
discussed above), without class action certification and adjudication, most if not all potential class
members probably will never even know they were overcharged for tuition (just as they did not
know they were entitled to be charged reduced tuition in the first place).
105. Common questions of law and fact exist as to all members of the Class which predominate
over any questions that may affect individual Class members. Among the questions of law and fact
common to the Class are the following:
(a) whether Respondents violated § 355(2)(h)(8) of New York Education Law by
22
improperly charging and collecting tuition and fees in excess of the required amounts;
(b) whether Respondents violated § 349 of New York General Business Law by improperly
charging and collecting tuition and fees in excess of the required amounts;
(c) whether Respondents have been unjustly enriched by improperly charging and collecting
tuition and fees in excess of the required amounts.
106. The Class is readily definable, and prosecution of this action as a Class action will reduce
the possibility of repetitious litigation. Information regarding which students were overcharged, and
by how much, is easily ascertained by Respondents. Petitioners knows of no difficulty that will be
encountered in the management of this litigation that would preclude its maintenance as a Class
action.
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
(Violation of NY Educ. Law § 355(2)(h)(8))
107. Petitioners repeat a reallege the allegations of paragraphs 1 through 106 as though fully set

Class in amounts no greater than that imposed for students who were residents of the state as New
York Educ. Law § 355(2)(h)(8) dictates.
110. Petitioners and the Class have been damaged by Respondents' failure to perform this duty,
namely, the wrongful imposition, collection and retention of tuition and fees in excess of the
required amounts.
23

amounts constitute materially deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of business, trade, or
commerce or in the furnishing of services in this State that affect the public interest under§ 349 of
New York General Business Law.
114. Respondents’ misleading and deceptive acts and practices (detailed above) were consumer-

24
THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
(Unjust enrichment)

Petitioners and the Class by wrongfully imposing, collecting and retaining tuition and fees in excess
of the required amounts under the facts and circumstances alleged in this complaint. Respondents'
retention of the monies wrongfully collected from Petitioners and the Class violates fundamental
principles of justice, equity, and good conscience.
120. Petitioners and the Class are entitled to recover from Respondents all amounts as unjust
enrichment that have been wrongfully and improperly collected and retained by Respondents, and
Respondents should be required to disgorge the monies that it has unjustly obtained.

Program Description

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhen is the deadline to apply?
Early Decision and Early Action application deadlines are outlined on page 4. While there is no formal application deadline for regular decision freshman applicants, we recommend you apply byDecember 1 to maximize your chances for financial aid, campushousing and consideration for your major of choice. Please note,some colleges have specific application deadlines for certain pro-grams of study. Transfer applicants are generally reviewed on a rollingbasis. Be sure to be in touch with campuses directly to get deadlineinformation for supplemental applications, auditions, art portfolios, etc.
How much does it cost to apply?
The non-refundable application fee is $50 for each campus choice.The application will not be processed until full payment or authorizedfee waiver request is received.
Are there minimum GPA or SAT requirements for admission?
Each SUNY campus evaluates students individually for admission.Campuses are looking for students who have challenged themselves,worked hard and done well in high school (and college, if you are atransfer applicant). Student profiles vary from campus to campus. For more information, visit www.suny.edu/student/freshman_admission_facts.cfm.
Where is the essay question?
In addition to your SUNY application, a number of SUNY campusesrequire or recommend that applicants complete a supplementalapplication. The supplemental application provides additional information, typically regarding your interests, activities, etc. Manycampuses also ask applicants to complete an essay or personalstatement as part of the supplemental application. See page 7 orwww.suny.edu/suppapps for supplemental application requirements.
How can I get a supplemental application?
Some campuses will mail applicants a supplemental form afterreceiving your SUNY application. Many campuses also provide theirsupplemental application online. Visit www.suny.edu/suppapps toaccess or download supplemental application forms.
What happens to my application after it is received at the SUNY Application Services Center (ASC) in Albany?
The ASC will prepare one application for each of your campus choices and transmit it to the college along with your transcript.Once your application is sent to the college(s), the ASC will notify you that your application has been processed. Soon thereafter, eachcampus will contact you to let you know if any additional items arerequired to complete your application. An admission decision will bemade and communicated by each campus to which you apply.
How can I confirm receipt of my application?
To confirm receipt of your application by the Application ServicesCenter (ASC) in Albany and transmission of your application to yourcampus choices, visit: www.suny.edu/appstatus. By entering yourApplicant ID (typically your Social Security Number) and birth dateyou can see which campuses you applied to, academic programchosen, and approximate date by which the campuses shouldreceive your application.
What is my Applicant ID?
Your Applicant ID is typically your Social Security Number. If you didnot provide or do not have a Social Security Number, an Applicant ID number has been assigned to you. It can be found on youracknowledgement letter you received via postal mail.
What is the difference between Early Decision and Early Action?
Both Early Decision (ED) and Early Action (EA) are early application/notification admission programs. The difference is in the applicationdeadline and the binding nature of the program.
Early Decision is a binding program which is appropriate if you have a clear first choice campus. You may apply to only one campus asan ED candidate. See page 4 for instructions, deadlines and notifica-tion dates. If admitted, you will be expected to withdraw applicationsat other colleges.
Early Action is non-binding. You may apply to multiple campuses asan EA candidate. See page 4 for instructions, deadlines and notifica-tion dates. You have until May 1 to declare your enrollment intentions.
Will my admission decision be affected if I take the SAT I or ACT more than once?
No, campuses will consider the highest score you have achieved on either the SAT or ACT.
What is SUNY’s policy regarding the SAT Writing?
Each campus will make a determination about how the SAT (or ACT)writing component will be used. As part of your college search, ask each campus of interest about their testing requirements andpolicies.
Do SUNY campuses accept AP or college credits taken during high school?
Yes, each SUNY campus evaluates and awards credit for AP and college credits.
What’s most important in the admission decision?
For freshman applicants, it is the high school transcript, which providescampuses with information regarding overall performance andcourse selection. For transfer applicants, your performance in collegelevel work will carry the most weight in the application reviewprocess.
Who makes admission decisions?
Admission decisions are made at the college, based on individualevaluation of your academic record. The ASC does not make admission decisions.
When will campuses notify me of the admission decision?
See page 4 for Early Decision and Early Action notification dates.Many campuses respond to regular decision freshman applicants on a rolling basis, meaning when an application becomes complete, it will be reviewed and a decision will be made and communicatedto the applicant. A few campuses have a set mailing date whenmost admission decisions are sent to the applicants. Transfer appli-cants are generally reviewed on a rolling basis. Check with the campus(es) to which you apply for specific information regarding the decision making process.
When is my tuition deposit due?
Tuition deposits for fall freshmen must be postmarked by May 1.Deposit deadlines for winter and spring terms are determined by thecampus. You should make a tuition deposit at only one SUNY college.In most cases, deposits are refundable until May 1. (Applicants admit-ted under the Early Decision program will be asked to submit a tuitiondeposit by January 15.) Transfer students will be advised by the campus(es) regarding a deposit date.
