Interesting news, but I'm a little confused over this.

How does one provide any evidence to support a claim for damages in a case like this?

"I'm working at McDonald's now because Yale prevented me from pursuing my career as a Wall Street CEO when they didn't accept me in 2005" is not likely to get you very far.

their charity scam cheated you too, get in the line!

oh wait, government’s gonna confiscate punitive damages and fines first, and then the class action suit lawyer is going to take 50%.

Would you settle for a $5 off coupon?

My bet is someone has seen some electronic communications at these various institutions regarding the merits of applicants. If so, I imagine those comms would be subject to discovery if cases went to trial.

One parent involved in the suit has a son with a 4.2 average who wasn't accepted at one of the schools. If they're accepting students (or have staff who are rigging the process) who are in the bottom 10% of the incoming class, and they've rejected students who would be in the upper quartile, how do they justify that? Keep in mind that lower 10% would be mostly students who fall below parameters.

Not all schools are like this. I've tutored excellent athletes who've had to get their Math SAT above 600 (preferably 650) to be considered.

Every student who applied and was denied can sue claiming their spot was taken by one of these risk jack holes.

They’ve damaged the value of all diplomas from their institution.

Discovery.

Make them produce all applications for the year you applied (retracting names).

Force them to provide the standards they use to select who gets in and who doesn’t.

The left have been using these tactics for years to claim discrimination when they have no proof other than the outcome.

It should prove educational if nothing more
