One top school that isn’t among the defendants is Harvard University. It is among the universities that have declined to participate in the so-called 568 Cartel because it would limit the financial aid they could provide, according to the suit.
In 2008, Harvard’s director of financial aid at the time, Sally Donahue, said the school never joined the group because its financial aid formula would have yielded packages smaller than what it wanted to award, according the the complaint.
The case is Henry v. Brown Univ., 22-cv-125, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois (Chicago).
