Class actions like this are opt in; by accepting the settlement you accepted the terms and lost your right to sue for a different (more appropriate to you) value.

Planet money did a a great segment on how these work and why America is set up this way. I learned a lot about it. You should definitely take a listen[1]. If you aren’t on Apple then search “What to do when you’re in a class action?” And find the podcast (not the summary article).

This one is opt out: see https://www.uofmdatasettlement.com/

"IF YOU DO NOTHING

Get no benefits. Give up your rights to sue the University over the legal claims in this case."

Sorry, my phrasing was off. I should have said, “you can opt out”

I also confirm that I did not submitted a claim to be included.
