Students attempting to sue a top Beijing law school over grant cuts on Tuesday refused to drop the case, although the college agreed to pay up.

China University of Political Science and Law paid just 2,000 yuan ($321) to scholarship students upon admission to its School of Juris Master in 2011.

The amount, a sharp decrease from the 9,000 yuan for arrivals in 2010, was due to budgetary constraints, the school said.
