Sixteen major U.S. universities and Ivy League schools have been accused of violating antitrust laws by collaborating to determine student financial aid awards, according to a lawsuit filed Sunday.
The case in Illinois federal court is on behalf of five former students who allege that the universities practiced price-fixing and unfairly limited aid by using a shared strategy to determine financial needs, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The named schools are Yale University, Georgetown University, Northwestern University, Brown University, the California Institute of Technology, the University of Chicago, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Duke University, Emory University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Pennsylvania, Rice University and Vanderbilt University.
