Yup.
(1) The Princeton article uses Price as her name. If an alumnae has married and her name is changed, it will usually identify the maiden name as well.
(2) None of the bios on Jenny Price indicate she is married.
(3) There is no indication she used a different name earlier in her career, for example, in getting the Ph.D. from Yale.
(4) The UCLA Center for the Study of Women (CSW) , lists Jennifer Price as a Research Scholar. Such a group of rabid feminists would probably toss her out if they found out she was using her husband’s name.
(5) A blogger I linked in a post above named a David Price as her brother.
So, for all these reasons it appears likely (80%?) that her brother had the same last name.
Thanks for all your work trying to track this story down. I had some free time today and found this obscure article which seems to raise alot of other questions:

Go at it...
Also this from Jenny herself as a reply to the aformentioned article:
"Flack Flak
A message from the other side: I am Jenny Price, the sister of Jane Higgins' ex-husband David Price. I read Chad Garrison's profile of Jane while visiting my family in St. Louis ["Star Flack," July 21].
Jane is a talented publicist and devoted mother. She deserves a profile that raves about her. But I am not impugning Jane in the least to point out that every divorce has two sides -- and the fact that anyone, much less any reporter, should understand this.
The fact that Garrison makes numerous claims about my brother's life and work and marriage and death that he couldn't possibly know to be true, with nary a quotation mark or "according to," is such obviously shoddy journalism.
The fact that he makes these claims about a man who has been dead for three years and cannot defend his memory is doubly irresponsible. The fact that Garrison has practiced such careless reporting on a subject of such pain and tragedy is unconscionable.
It would take several pages to rebut the assertions about my brother point by point. David, in any case, was much more forgiving than I am and probably would not want me to. Suffice it to say that David was a man of exceptional warmth and talent and integrity. He is one of the last people I can think of who deserves to have had his name sullied in his hometown media."

Quite defensive, I say! What is the whole story?
Well, it looks like you covered all the bases. I just thought that the name thing could have been responsible for you not being able to find more info.
Thanks for digging into it to find what you did.
