Howard University Settles Class Action for $2 Million
On October 1, 2024, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (D.C. District Court) entered a final judgment and order in the matter of Adavenaixx v. Howard University, approving a class action settlement and release that the parties had executed on May 6, 2024 (which the court had preliminarily approved on June 18, 2024). That judgment came after the court held a final approval hearing the same day at which it granted plaintiff’s motions for final approval of class action settlement and for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and service award. The court approved over two million dollars to be distributed to a class of Howard University students who were unable to attend in-person classes at the university during the height of COVID-19.
The suit originally began as Payne v. Howard University in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, but on motion was transferred to the D.C. District Court. Mr. Payne had been a student at Howard University during the 2019–2020 academic school year. In March 2020, Howard (like almost every school in the country) suspended in-person classes as a result of the epidemic.
