I know there are bigger problems in the world and I’m not going to try to solve them (though I may throw in my two cents on some of them over time). But here’s one that bugs me and I’ll bet few readers know that since 1994 the Ivy League and other academically selective schools that agree to admit students on a need-blind basis can discuss and even agree on common financial aid policies with other like-minded schools. This exemption grew out of a settlement of a major antitrust case the Department of Justice brought against the Ivy League and MIT in the early 1990s, which the Ivies settled, MIT fought in court, and in the first three months of my being on the job as a deputy assistant attorney general for antitrust at DOJ, I helped settle with MIT.
