Please let us know if you have feedbackDive Brief:Thirty-two highly selective colleges will have to face an antitrust lawsuit over their use of early decision admissions, a federal judge ruled Friday. Judge allows case against 32 highly selective colleges to proceed The colleges named as defendants in the early decision lawsuitThe defendants have agreed not to offer admission to students who have already been accepted by other institutions in the group via early decision, the lawsuit alleged. Under early action, students apply and receive an admissions decision early but are not bound to the college. But Dan McCuaig, an attorney representing the plaintiffs, said colleges often cast early decision as a higher-stakes choice. McCuaig said his clients’ argument primarily took issue with the alleged agreement between colleges not to compete for early decision applicants, rather than the early decision process itself.
