Ivy League

Many public universities subsidize cheap in-state tuition by recruiting international students who pay the full sticker price. The Trump administration’s crackdown could cause financial trouble for those institutions.

Plaintiffs in a 2022 class-action lawsuit against 17 elite colleges who allege the schools colluded in determining financial aid packages are seeking $685 million in damages.

“Ivy was a huge clothing phenomenon in the mid-20th century,” said Avery Trufelman, host of the podcast “Articles of Interest.” “And over time, it evolved into what was in the ’70s and ’80s called ‘preppy style,’ and what I argue now almost has no name at all.”
