Huh. Kinda surprising that there’s a lawsuit, that this is allegedly against some rule. It’s America, so I just assumed, if your parents are rich and you want to go to some elite college, of course you’re extra welcome. Here, have an pillow with the university’s logo embroidered on it.

Getting rid of that was part of an antitrust settlement in the 1990s. The lawsuit is about breaching the settlement terms.
