Ep 15: Antitrust and Universities with Cornell Law & Economics Prof George Hay

Author: WVBR-FM Podcasts February 1, 2022 Duration: 24:00
On January 11, a lawsuit was filed in federal court in Illinois against 16 major US universities, including Cornell, for antitrust violations. The lawsuit claims that these universities unlawfully collaborate on student aid calculations and fail to truly apply need-blind admissions policies. To gain a better understanding of the history of financial aid price fixing, its impacts on students, and Cornell’s place in the case, Jackie Torres and Grace Fairchild interviewed Cornell Law and Economics Professor George Hay, an expert in antitrust law and economics.

You're tuning into the extended, unfiltered conversation that happens once the microphones on the main broadcast are switched off. Talk of the Town: After Hours takes the core reporting from WVBR-FM's flagship news show-the local and national stories that directly shape life in Ithaca and Tompkins County-and digs deeper. This podcast, presented by WVBR-FM Podcasts, is where the journalists and producers unpack the week's headlines, share the context that didn't make the original Saturday airing, and explore the cultural and societal nuances behind the news. It’s a candid space for follow-up questions, behind-the-scenes details, and longer interviews with the people driving conversations in our community and beyond. While the initial reports set the stage, this audio companion offers the reflective analysis and broader discussion that happens after hours. You’ll hear the same commitment to covering politics and community issues, but with the relaxed pace and expanded depth that only a podcast format can allow. Think of it as the post-show debrief, where the stories you caught on 93.5FM get the additional room they need to breathe, connecting the dots between news, culture, and daily life in our corner of New York.
