About this episode
Students from elite universities are set to receive a $284 million settlement after a lawsuit accused these schools of colluding to keep tuition high.
Students from elite universities like Yale, Columbia, Duke, and Northwestern are set to receive a massive $284 million settlement after a landmark lawsuit accused these schools of secretly coordinating to keep tuition high and limit financial aid — essentially acting like a cartel. The payout, beginning July 20th, targets full-time undergrads who received need-based aid that didn’t cover full costs. Institutions deny wrongdoing, but the funds — distributed via digital payments and checks — mark a major win for students fighting unfair financial practices in higher education.
