Antitrust and higher education: was there a conspiracy to restrict financial aid?

Article Abstract:

The US Dept. of Justice charged several Ivy League schools of price collusion in 1991. In succeeding court cases, the schools defended their cooperative actions as a means of concentrating financial aid to poor students. This issue resulted in the passage of the Higher Education Act of 1992, which permitted certain cooperative actions among schools for this purpose. Analysis of the issue reveals no evidence that the schools' actions resulted in higher prices, suggesting that non-profit organizations may be exempt from certain aspects of antitrust law.
