Judge finds MIT guilty in financial-aid scam
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Massachusetts Institute of Technology violated a federal ban on price fixing by sharing financial-aid data with Ivy League colleges and using it to put together aid offers to students, a judge ruled yesterday.
Chief U.S. District Judge Louis Bechtle's order bars MIT from any combination or conspiracy with any other college on grants to any student for tuition or other educational costs. MIT will appeal, President Charles Vest said.
The issue in the case was the Ivy Overlap Group, a cooperative effort between MIT and the Ivy League schools through which formulas were set up to make sure a student who applied to more than one school would be offered the same financial aid by each school.
The 35-year-old practice, intended to prevent schools from getting into bidding wars for students with their own special needs.
"By entering into the Ivy Overlap Agreements, the member institutions purposefully removed, by agreement, price considerations and price competition for an Overlap school education," Bechle wrote.
Charles James, acting assistant U.S. attorney general for the Department of Justice's antitrust division, said that his office was pleased with the ruling.
The judge rejected MIT's arguments that its financial aid- program was a charity, rather than a commercial enter-
The case under the Sherman Antitrust Act was originally filed against MIT and Ivy League schools. But the other schools reached out-of-court settlements with the department.
all of the schools maintained the practice was not illegal, but only MIT decided to fight in court. The other schools were Harvard University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University and Dartmouth College. Even though Pennsylvania settled, the case remained assigned to Philadelphia, chosen as the closest location to Washington, D.C.
Bechtle said that he saw no question on whether the practice amounted to illegal price fixing. He said MIT argued that educational opportunity should not be decided by the vagaries of the commercial marketplace. But he said Congress, in passing the Sherman Act, had made a very different value judgment.
Under the Overlap system, the schools agreed to offer financial aid based solely on need and met yearly to set their aid formula.
