On June 25, AAU filed an amicus brief in Corzo v. Cornell, a case currently before the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals involving antitrust allegations involving five universities Cornell University, Georgetown University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Pennsylvania. AAU’s brief supported the universities’ petition for permission to appeal the lower court’s decision to certify a plaintiff class of more than 220,000 former undergraduate students who attended the schools over 20 years; the potential class action damages could exceed $2 billion.
