I am posting this link from the New York Times for information purposes only. Potential applicants may want to be aware of this lawsuit recently filed against Swarthmore as they decide whether to apply. I stress that I have no insight as to the merit of this case. I’m sure others are far more knowledgeable on the matter than me and will provide more color. However, as a parent of a college age daughter I do think that awareness of this issue is important, hence this post.

What is interesting is that this appears to be a growing trend affecting LACs, among others…
