The University of Missouri recently had a judgment against 
them from a class-action lawsuit.  The lawsuit charged the University
with illegally charging tuition.  The judge rejected the university's
argument that "fees" were different from "tuition".

My own university, the University of California (UC), has 
likewise charged "fees" for many years, despite the fact that 
the act establishing the university calls for a tuition-free 
education for California residents. 

- Was there ever a class-action lawsuit against UC for
illegally charging tuition ?
- Is there anything that puts UC in a stronger or fundamentally
different legal position than the University of Missouri?
