[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A class action? You mean a law? A rule? None of that would be legal. They could adopt the policy and even agree to a standard, but these are private businesses without federal funding.[/quote] Not a law...a lawsuit that names every top private school in the DMV and claims that having a policy whereby you can force someone to pay tuition when you are easily able to backfill that spot (at least for the top privates), or when you never paid the deposit, is no longer enforceable. Some of the top privates have endowments in excess of most private colleges. Sidwell's $80MM doesn't sound like much, but the median private college endowment is only $42MM.[/quote]
