In this thought-provoking clip from the Future U podcast, Jeff Selingo and Michael Horn discuss the latest congressional investigation into college financial aid practices. The House and Senate Judiciary Committees have sent letters to consulting firms that help colleges with pricing strategies and merit aid decisions, claiming these common algorithms may violate antitrust laws.
The discussion reveals a critical dilemma: colleges rely on sophisticated third-party data providers like EAB and Ruffalo Noel Levitz because they can't replicate these complex algorithms internally. Horn argues this represents a downstream symptom of deeper structural issues in higher education, advocating for accreditation reform to allow new market entrants that could disrupt traditional cost structures.
This conversation highlights the tension between regulatory oversight and practical realities in higher education financing, raising important questions about competition, pricing transparency, and the future of college affordability.
