(CNN)Sixteen top US universities, including Duke, Vanderbilt and Northwestern, are being sued by five former students claiming those schools may be involved in antitrust violations in the way those institutions worked together in determining financial aid awards for students, according to the lawsuit filed in a US District Court in Illinois.
The complaint, which was filed Sunday, alleges that these private national universities have "participated in a price-fixing cartel that is designed to reduce or eliminate financial aid as a locus of competition, and that in fact has artificially inflated the net price of attendance for students receiving financial aid."
The suit is asking for class-action status to cover any US citizen or permanent resident who paid tuition, room, or board at these institutions within varying timeframes from 2003 to the present. The plaintiffs want a permanent injunction against this alleged conspiracy, and that they are also seeking restitution and damages to be determined in court.
[...] 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."

well that is where you decided to draw the line on Progress. The thing about Progressivism is that the train has no stops. You do not get to decide where this train stops. And in fact, the end point is the elimination of all distinctions between all humans. The Equality ideal. This will be done despite the horror and destruction required to make it so.

Never thought I would have to do an implantation into Tengu, but if he so wants to honor the mere term, "mother", he must become one. It is alright, perfectly plausible for the placenta to attach to other organs than a hyster, the large colon, perhaps. The only real difficulty is the exit. Do try to be near a surgical hospital when your dream comes to term, Mojikabe, or you will die. Shall we call you "Mother", or perhaps matka?

For the sarcasm-blind, I'll add a <sarcasm> tag. And I gave OP a +1 (but next time please add your own <sarcasm> tag).
