Judge Rules MIT Violated Antitrust Law as Member of 23-College "Overlap Group."

Jaschik, Scott

Chronicle of Higher Education, v39 n3 pA22-23,26 Sep 9 1992

A federal judge has ruled that 23 prestigious colleges and universities in the Overlap Group violated federal antitrust laws for over 20 years when they met to compare financial-aid packages to be awarded to prospective students, rejecting arguments of social and educational need and nonapplicability of antitrust law. Massachusetts Institute of Technology will appeal. (MSE)
