On August 10, local time, an American judge ruled that 32 major US universities, including Duke University, Cornell University, and Northwestern University, must face a proposed class action lawsuit. The lawsuit accuses the schools of colluding to raise tuition costs for tens of thousands of students using the popular “early admissions” admissions process. Massachusetts District Judge Angel Kelly said the accusations made by the plaintiffs were well-founded. According to these allegations, there was collusion between the schools, that is, they agreed not to compete with each other for students admitted through each other's “early admission” programs. The plaintiffs sued these schools last year, alleging that they violated federal antitrust laws and raised tuition fees for tens of thousands of students through an “early admissions” enrollment process.
