Not Tulane

Post by TU77CAL82 »

16 top colleges sued for alleged violation of federal antitrust laws by colluding on their financial-aid practices
https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/11/us/colle ... index.html
The lawsuit alleges nine schools (Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke, Georgetown, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern, Notre Dame, the University of Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt) have "made admissions decisions with regard to the financial circumstances of students and their families, " thereby disfavoring students who need financial aid."
It claims seven other colleges mentioned in the suit (Brown, the California Institute of Technology, Chicago, Cornell, Emory, Rice and Yale) "may or may not have adhered to need-blind admissions policies, but they nonetheless conspired with the other Defendants."
"All Defendants, in turn, have conspired to reduce the amount of financial aid they provide to admitted students," the complaint read.

So far.....

Shocked. Shocked, I tell ya. Next thing you know, we'll find out that rich and/or famous people pay to get their kids accepted into the schools of their choice. Maybe even fake membership on sports teams or something in order to pull it off. 8)

Private schools should be able to choose who they accept.

Once you accept federal money, some of your freedom to choose what you want to do goes out the window. What school doesn't eagerly accept federal money?

Hillsdale College in Michigan is about the only one I know of that doesn't and that's very much for this reason.

OGSB, I love jokingly using that website and that might be the most fantastic "chain" I've ever seen.

I wasn’t thinking of that, but you are correct. They pretty much become a non-profit following governmental standards.
