The Common Application and CollegeNET announced -- without detail -- that they had settled an antitrust lawsuit filed by CollegeNET in 2014. The suit charged that Common Application had eliminated competition in the business of handling colleges' applications through unfair practices that, the suit said, had the impact of adding costs for students. Common App denied the charges.
A joint statement from the two groups said, in its entirety, "The Common Application and CollegeNET have agreed to resolve and dismiss the lawsuit brought by CollegeNET in May 2014. The matter has been resolved in a way satisfactory to the parties pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement whereby, without admitting liability, Common Application has agreed commencing with the 2019-2020 application season to modify certain of its challenged practices."
