Join BP, Justin and your host Coop as we discuss the 1999 American slasher film directed by Geoffrey Wright, and starring Brittany Murphy, Jay Mohr, and Michael Biehn. The plot focuses on a small Virginia town where a serial killer is targeting teenaged virgins. After being submitted to and rejected by the MPAA numerous times, Cherry Falls was screened at several film festivals in some countries in late 1999 and early 2000, but did not have a theatrical release in the United States. Finally, it was purchased by USA Films, who telecast it on the USA Network on October 20, 2000.

Wright promised an intelligent script full of irony. In 1999, the filmmakers began scouting locations in Virginia, using the town square in Warrenton; the high school used in the film was Thomas Jefferson High School, located in Richmond. The residents of Richmond lambasted the making of the film because of its brutality. The film's set was described as "tense" by writer Ken Selden, due to the thirty-day production schedule falling behind, which led to budget issues from October Films. Director Geoffrey Wright kept Selden's original script relatively unchanged, but re-wrote the film's final "orgy scene", which had originally been conceived by Selden as featuring the teenagers having a mass sex party under a giant white sheet. Wright opted to shoot the scene with the cast nude, which resulted in much of the scene being cut in order to avoid an NC-17 rating. Release Cherry Falls was shopped at the Cannes film market in 1999, and was sold for theatrical distribution in all international territories across the world. The film had a tentative theatrical release scheduled for November 2000. However, the film was troubled by censor disapproval in the United States, and the distributors' relationship with USA Films led the company to make the decision to release it as a television movie in the United States, syndicated on the USA Network. As a result, it became (and remains) the most expensive television film ever made, with a production budget of $14 million. The film shown at the in May 1999 at Marché du Film in France. Cherry Falls was released in the United States on October 20, 2000. The film had successful theatrical runs in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe. It opened in the United Kingdom on August 25, 2000. Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 63% of 19 surveyed critics gave it a positive review. Doug Brod of Entertainment Weekly rated it A− and wrote that "it might just be the wittiest, most subversive teen thriller since Heathers". AllMovie gave it a favorable review: "Of all the teen slasher flicks that premiered after the wildly successful Scream series (Urban Legend, etc.), Cherry Falls will possibly go down as one of the most creative, but sadly unseen ones in the bunch". Derek Elley of Variety called it "a semi-successful spin on familiar material that could build minor cult status". Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club wrote: "Smart at times but not nearly smart enough, and peppered with good ideas it doesn't really know how to exploit, Cherry Falls is just good enough to make you wish it were far, far better". Chris Parcellin of Film Threat rated it 3/5 stars and wrote that "it aspires to be another Heathers or Rivers Edge, but doesn't make it". Total Film rated it 3/5 stars and wrote: "If you're not already sick to death of the teen horror genre, you might want to give this a look". Matt Serafini of Dread Central ranked Cherry Falls number seven in a list of the top ten high school horror films from 1996 to the present. #cherryfalls #brittanymurphy #jaymohr #horror #blood #virgin #tv #urbanlegends #mulhollanddrive #davidlynch #blockbuster #mtv #2000s #1990s

Building any kind of startup is hard. Starting a business in healthcare or medical technology is even more challenging, given the long timelines for product development and all the regulatory requirements companies have to meet. But imagine how much harder it would be to start a company if you were still just a senior in high school! Recently Harry learned about a company called Vytal that's building eye-tracking technology to measure brain health, and he knew he wanted to have the co-founders on the show. Not just because the technology is interesting, but because CEO Rohan Kalahasty and the CTO Sai Mattapali are both 18 years old, and both entering their senior years at Thomas Jefferson High School of Science and Technology in Fairfax County, Virginia. Very few teenagers have ten employees and over a million dollars in seed capital. But that's exactly where Rohan and Sai are right now. Some of the challenges they've faced have been absolutely typical—like how to build a network of partners and how to meet government standards for new medical devices. And others have been a little unusual, like how to get time off from school to meet with investors and how to convince their parents that the business won't take too much time away from their studies.

Fairfax County, Virginia's Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology – commonly known as TJ – is the #1 ranked public high school in the country. In 2020, the Fairfax County School Board enacted measures intended to increase racial diversity in TJ's student body. These policies changed the school's admissions process and drew criticism from some TJ parents, locals, and national observers. The changes included discontinuing the admissions test, allowing race-consciousness, and capping the number of students allowed admission from each of the district's 23 middle schools. In the end, the new system led to a reduction in the number of Asian-American students admitted to TJ. In March 2021, Coalition for TJ sued the Fairfax County School Board over the new admissions policies alleging discrimination against applicants of Asian heritage. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granted Coalition for TJ's motion for summary judgment in February 2022. Fairfax County School Board then appealed the District Court's permanent injunction to the Fourth Circuit. The Fourth Circuit stayed the District Court order. The Coalition for TJ filed an emergency stay application to the U.S. Supreme Court but was denied; the case was remanded to the Fourth Circuit and heard in September 2022. In May 2023, the Fourth Circuit reversed the District Court allowing the new admissions plan to be enacted. Coalition for TJ's legal representation, Pacific Legal Foundation, is now planning to file a cert petition to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the lead up to filing, Erin Wilcox will join us to discuss the case and offer an update on the latest events.

On this day in legal history, August 22 1996, welfare as we knew it was ended and millions of folks living in precarity had the rug ripped out from under their feet.The so-called "Welfare to Work" bill signed by President Bill Clinton in August 1996 was a contentious piece of legislation that aimed to move individuals from welfare to employment, premised on the flawed notion that those unable to work were simply unwilling to work. The downsides of this reform were significant. Critics, including three assistant secretaries at the Department of Health and Human Services who resigned in protest, argued that the law destroyed the federal safety net, leading to increased poverty and lower income for single mothers. Some individuals were moved into homeless shelters, and states were left free to eliminate welfare entirely. Specifically, while the intention was to shift mothers from welfare to work, many found that they were not earning enough to thrive, and others were pushed off welfare rolls due to logistical challenges such as lack of child care or failure to receive notification. Despite a decline in welfare and poverty rates in the late 1990s, the negative impacts of the reform on the most vulnerable populations raised serious concerns about the true success of the legislation.In the light of history, it is clear the reform didn't achieve its stated goal of ending poverty – not by a long shot. While the reform initially seemed to be working, with unemployment dipping and poverty falling, later research has cast doubt on its efficacy. The reform reduced welfare rolls and increased employment, but it also reduced the incomes of the poor, especially the poorest of the poor. Transitioning from welfare to work may have gotten people jobs, but those people didn't actually come out ahead monetarily, as welfare would have paid better than work did. There was an increase in deep poverty, the fraction living below 50 percent of the poverty line. The availability of money as a kind of slush fund for states created an incentive for states to discourage potential beneficiaries from applying. Critics argue that the legislation got virtually every technical detail wrong, giving states too much flexibility and creating perverse incentives for states to seek alternative spending routes for money earmarked for the poor. Even many conservatives have expressed concerns about the state incentives created by the block grant. The initial assessments of the reform were overly optimistic, and there's a broad consensus outside the law's core supporters that something went deeply wrong. The failure to allow people to apply for aid, the atrophy of work programs, and the diversion of funds to other programs were unintended consequences that have led to a call for change.Jill Nelson - Apocalypse Now, The Nation (1996)"If the goal was to get rid of poverty, we failed": the legacy of the 1996 welfare reform - VoxThe law firm of the foreseeable future will be different in three critical ways: working with AI, evaluation and education, and structure. First, AI will be embedded at every level of an attorney's work, augmenting individual tasks and transforming the delivery of legal services at the practice level. This will radically optimize tasks, allowing attorneys to focus on unique work and create opportunities to scale. Second, AI will change the skills that clients expect from legal counsel, emphasizing complex problem-solving and strategic thinking over research and writing. It will also refine how lawyers are trained, calling for better mentoring and teaching, and will be central to how both attorneys and clients consume information. Third, the structure of law firms may change, with exceptions to the prohibition of ownership by non-lawyers pointing to forces that may lead to significant changes in the future. Law firms' limited ability to invest in technology may be a disadvantage, but unlocking efficiencies with AI could change the landscape. The future law firm may be able to deliver services at scale with high leverage, potentially transforming the traditional structure and approach of legal practices. These changes reflect a future shaped by current forces, particularly the integration of AI into the legal field.A pure editorial note here, I myself am always skeptical of claims that technology will radically disrupt entrenched power structures. If I had to put money on how AI changes law firm culture and the legal field, it will be to redound to the benefit of those in power now, and benefits to labor will take a long time to trickle down to junior attorneys and paralegals. Law Firms of the Future Will Be Different in Three Critical WaysNew Jersey is facing a severe judge shortage, freezing nearly 4,000 divorce proceedings and around 4,700 other family law cases. Some counties are entirely blocked from holding any divorce trials due to the lack of judges. The delays for contested divorces are sometimes measured in years, far exceeding the state's guideline of resolving cases within 12 months of filing. The shortage has persisted due to New Jersey's unique "courtesy" appointment system, where any senator can block the appointment of a judge in their home county, and accelerated retirements have worsened the situation. New Jersey currently has 57 vacancies, nearly double the system's manageable limit of 30. The backlog has broad spillover effects, affecting other civil litigants and leading to dire consequences for the injured and elderly. Political obstacles, including the "courtesy" appointment system and increased partisanship, have contributed to the dearth of judges. Despite recent confirmations, the situation is described as a "judicial crisis," and a resolution appears unlikely until at least November. The shortage has led to human tragedies, including difficulties in securing child passports, enrolling children in school due to custody battles, and forced cohabitation with abusive partners.New Jersey Judge Shortage Freezes Couples in Messy Divorce CasesActivision Blizzard, the maker of "Call of Duty," will sell its streaming rights to Ubisoft Entertainment to gain approval from Britain's anti-trust regulator for its $69 billion sale to Microsoft. The original acquisition, announced in early 2022, was blocked by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) over concerns that Microsoft would dominate the emerging cloud gaming market. The CMA maintained its decision to veto the deal, leading to a restructured agreement. Under the new terms, Microsoft cannot release Activision games exclusively on its Xbox Cloud Gaming service or control licensing terms for rival services. Ubisoft will acquire cloud streaming rights for Activision's existing and new games for the next 15 years, except in Europe. The CMA will review the new proposal, with a Phase 1 process ending on Oct. 18, possibly followed by a longer Phase 2 examination. The deal marks a significant concession by Microsoft and a win for the CMA, reflecting its tough stance on tech deals since Brexit. Ubisoft's shares were up more than 7% following the news.Microsoft, Activision to sell streaming rights to secure biggest video gaming dealA parents group, backed by a conservative legal organization, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether an admissions policy at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology in Virginia is racially discriminatory. The policy, adopted in 2020, was aimed at diversifying the student body and was considered race-neutral. It eliminated a standardized test, capped the number of students from each middle school, and guaranteed seats for top students from each. Following these changes, the percentage of Asian-American students fell, while the share of Black and Hispanic students increased. A group called Coalition for TJ sued, claiming the policy violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. While a U.S. District Judge sided with the parents, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision. The Supreme Court's response is pending.U.S. Supreme Court asked to hear high school admissions case concerning race | ReutersThe Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which includes provisions for transitioning industry away from coal and natural gas, also introduces a 45V tax credit for hydrogen produced with low greenhouse gas output. This means that the hydrogen must be produced by clean electricity to qualify for the tax credit. While some advocate for maintaining or enhancing this restriction, others worry that it may stifle the hydrogen industry's growth. In my column I suggest that the solution lies in better funding and streamlining the clean electricity sector and its related tax credit regime. The EU has already implemented a renewable hydrogen regulatory framework that emphasizes connecting new hydrogen generation systems to new renewable energy systems. The U.S. must also recognize that clean hydrogen's fate is tied to clean energy systems like solar and wind. Uncertainty in the clean energy sector, particularly regarding tax credit eligibility, may be slowing down the production of clean electricity systems. To foster the renewable hydrogen industry, the U.S. must streamline and clarify the clean electricity tax credit system, possibly aligning with the EU's approach. The policy should focus on locating and clarifying bottlenecks in existing regulatory frameworks and tax incentives, redirecting investments earmarked for hydrogen to grow the clean economy.Funding Clean Electricity Will Help Grow the Hydrogen Economy Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the six-member majority to undo the lasting impacts of the landmark 1978 case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, which upheld race-conscious admissions at universities. "Harvard’s and UNC’s admissions programs violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment," the majority held in Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented and was joined by Justice Elena Kagan. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented in the UNC case, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan. Jackson recused herself from the Harvard case due to her past service on the university board. Justices have been mulling since November over two cases brought by the nonprofit group Students for Fair Admissions, headed by conservative legal strategist Edward Blum, a staunch critic of affirmative action policies. The majority held that "nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant's discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise. But, despite the dissent's assertion to the contrary, universities may not simply establish through application essays or other means the regime we hold unlawful today." Justice Clarence Thomas added that he would "highly doubt" universities could carry on with considering race in admissions policies with the new test that was established Thursday. “In the future, universities wishing to discriminate based on race in admissions must articulate and justify a compelling and measurable state interest based on concrete evidence. Given the strictures set out by the Court, I highly doubt any will be able to do so." During oral arguments in October 2022, the court's inclination to ban affirmative action was evident. The court's six conservatives expressed skepticism toward the practice, even as attorneys for Harvard and UNC, along with U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, implored the court to permit the practice to continue. Another case filed in 2014 alleged the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill unlawfully discriminates against white and Asian American applicants. That suit accused the university of violating the Constitution's 14th Amendment promise of equal protection under the law. Banning the use of affirmative action will force elite colleges to reinvent their policies and find new ways to ensure diversity in their student populations without using race as a consideration. Several universities have expressed concerns in legal briefs that a decision to overturn affirmative action could result in fewer minority students on campuses. But ahead of the high court's opinion release, legal experts speculated colleges might attempt to maintain a superficial vision for diversity on campus without taking race into consideration. The matter of race-neutral admissions policies that are implemented for racially conscious ends could find its way to the Supreme Court soon. A group of parents, alumni, and community members at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax, Virginia, sued the school for changing its admissions process to increase the number of black and brown students and decrease the number of Asian students. The U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the school's new process did not violate federal law. The case's next stop would be the Supreme Court. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/29/1185087587/google-says-it-will-start-blocking-canadian-news-stories-in-response-to-new-law Google says it will start blocking Canadian news stories in response to new law Google said on Thursday that it will block all links to Canadian news articles for people using its search engine and other services in the country in response to a new law that would compel tech companies to pay publishers for content. It comes a week after Meta vowed its own blackout of Canadian publishers on Facebook and Instagram, calling the law "fundamentally flawed." The two tech giants have been battling the Canadian government over the law that would force them to negotiate compensation deals with news organizations for distributing links to news stories. The law, called the Online News Act, passed last week. But it could take months for it to take effect. Once it does, Google and Meta say they will start removing news articles by Canadian publishers from their services in the country. Supporters of the legislation have argued that it could provide a much-needed lifeline to the ailing news industry, which has been gutted by Silicon Valley's ironclad control of digital advertising. Under the law, platforms like Meta and Google would have to come to the negotiating table with news organizations and hammer out compensation deals. Government estimates predict that the law would result in a cash injection of some $329 million into the Canadian news industry, which has been beset by news staff layoffs and other downsizing in recent years. Canada's law was modeled on a similar effort in Australia, where Meta did block news articles for nearly a week before tense negotiations led Meta and Google to eventually strike deals with news publishers. A bill to force tech companies to pay publishers is also advancing in California, where the tech industry has levied similar blackout threats. In Canada, both tech platforms have long been against the law, saying the companies are already helping news companies by directing web traffic to their sites. On Facebook and Instagram, news represents a tiny fraction — on Facebook, it's about 3% — of what people see every day. Google, too, does not consider news articles as essential to its service. So both companies have wagered that it is simply easier to block links to news articles than to start paying news organizations. While most major publishers in Canada back the new law, outside media observers have not been so sure. Tech writer Casey Newton has argued that a tax on displaying links would "effectively break the internet" if it was applied to the rest of the web. Other critics have pointed to the lack of transparency over who actually would receive cash infusion from the tech companies. Some fear the programs could be hijacked by disinformation sites that learn how to game the system. Yet press advocates insisted that tech companies retaliating by threatening to systemically remove news articles will be a blow to civil society and the public's understanding of the world. "At a moment when disinformation swirls in our public discourse, ensuring public access to credible journalism is essential, so it's deeply disappointing to see this decision from Google and Meta," said Liz Woolery, who leads digital policy at PEN America, an organization that supports freedom of expression. Woolery continued: "As policymakers explore potential solutions to the challenges facing the journalism industry, platforms are free to critique, debate, and offer alternatives, but reducing the public's access to news is never the right answer." https://www.stripes.com/theaters/asia_pacific/2023-06-28/taiwan-russia-warships-passage-china-10574003.html Taiwan tracks pair of Russian warships off island’s eastern coast Taiwan scrambled aircraft and dispatched ships late Tuesday to monitor the passage of two Russian warships off its eastern coast, according to the island’s Ministry of National Defense. Two Russian frigates traveled northward along the coast toward the East China Sea around 11 p.m. Tuesday, the ministry said in a news release Tuesday. It did not specify how far offshore the ships were. In response, Taiwan’s military used “joint intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance methods” and “dispatched mission aircraft, ships and shore-mounted missile systems to closely monitor” the Russian vessels, according to the release. The ships continued on course and left Taiwan’s “response area” southeast of Suao, a city on the island’s northeastern edge that is also home to a logistics support naval base, according to the Defense Ministry. While Taiwan reports near-daily activity from the Chinese military off its western coast in the Taiwan Strait — 49 Chinese aircraft and 20 ships have been reported in the waterway since Sunday — Russian activity is less common. The warships’ passage comes less than a week after the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary outfit, organized a brief, two-day rebellion against the Russian government that began Friday with the group taking over military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don and concluded Saturday after they stood down and withdrew from the city. It also comes just over a week after Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Beijing to meet with high-level Chinese officials, including President Xi Jinping, which Blinken described as “candid and constructive” but failed to secure the United States’ top priority of renewed communication between the two countries’ militaries. Beijing considers Taiwan, a functionally independent democracy, to be a breakaway province and aims to reunite it with the mainland. China and Russia remain close allies, with the two countries regularly coordinating military exercises together, although Beijing has not openly endorsed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Yet press advocates insisted that tech companies retaliating by threatening to systemically remove news articles will be a blow to civil society and the public's understanding of the world. "At a moment when disinformation swirls in our public discourse, ensuring public access to credible journalism is essential, so it's deeply disappointing to see this decision from Google and Meta," said Liz Woolery, who leads digital policy at PEN America, an organization that supports freedom of expression. Woolery continued: "As policymakers explore potential solutions to the challenges facing the journalism industry, platforms are free to critique, debate, and offer alternatives, but reducing the public's access to news is never the right answer." https://www.stripes.com/theaters/asia_pacific/2023-06-28/taiwan-russia-warships-passage-china-10574003.html Taiwan tracks pair of Russian warships off island’s eastern coast Taiwan scrambled aircraft and dispatched ships late Tuesday to monitor the passage of two Russian warships off its eastern coast, according to the island’s Ministry of National Defense. Two Russian frigates traveled northward along the coast toward the East China Sea around 11 p.m. Tuesday, the ministry said in a news release Tuesday. It did not specify how far offshore the ships were. In response, Taiwan’s military used “joint intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance methods” and “dispatched mission aircraft, ships and shore-mounted missile systems to closely monitor” the Russian vessels, according to the release. The ships continued on course and left Taiwan’s “response area” southeast of Suao, a city on the island’s northeastern edge that is also home to a logistics support naval base, according to the Defense Ministry. While Taiwan reports near-daily activity from the Chinese military off its western coast in the Taiwan Strait — 49 Chinese aircraft and 20 ships have been reported in the waterway since Sunday — Russian activity is less common. The warships’ passage comes less than a week after the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary outfit, organized a brief, two-day rebellion against the Russian government that began Friday with the group taking over military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don and concluded Saturday after they stood down and withdrew from the city. It also comes just over a week after Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Beijing to meet with high-level Chinese officials, including President Xi Jinping, which Blinken described as “candid and constructive” but failed to secure the United States’ top priority of renewed communication between the two countries’ militaries. Beijing considers Taiwan, a functionally independent democracy, to be a breakaway province and aims to reunite it with the mainland. China and Russia remain close allies, with the two countries regularly coordinating military exercises together, although Beijing has not openly endorsed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In the fall of 2020, the school board of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology unanimously voted to eliminate its merit-based, race-blind admissions process. The school principal then went on record saying that she wanted more brown and black children despite minorities representing 80 percent of the school's students.In this episode, Naomi and Ian are joined by Asra Nomani, author of Woke Army: The Red-Green Alliance That Is Destroying America's Freedom. Asra created the Coalition for TJ—a group of Thomas Jefferson parents, students, and alumni—which filed a legal challenge against the new admissions process in 2021. In February 2022, a federal judge ruled it was unconstitutional because the process discriminates against Asian American applicants.Asra describes how the movement of “racial balancing” at TJ has since infiltrated schools and workplaces around the country. The effort to prioritize equity over equality of opportunity has not only harmed children of underprivileged immigrant families, it also threatens to undermine the ability of American students to compete globally. Parents have rallied to preserve merit and individual achievement, and Asra believes that the next step is to galvanize the parents' movement toward greater political engagement on the local and national level.Resources:• Woke Army: The Red-Green Alliance That Is Destroying America's Freedom | Asra Nomani• Here's Why All Students Need Agency Rather Than Equity | Ian Rowe | New York PostShow Notes:• 01:23 | What's been happening at Thomas Jefferson High School?• 07:10 | Where do things stand at TJ now? • 09:45 | How do we fall short at communicating that we want to create and expand opportunities for children of all races?• 12:42 | Where is public opinion on this nationwide? • 24:00 | What should parents be looking out for next?

This past December, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology -- a STEAM-centric magnet high school in Fairfax County, Virginia -- made waves after it was revealed that students who had been recognized by the National Merit Scholar program as Commended Students and Semifinalists had not been notified of the awards, costing them precious opportunities for early college admission, scholarships and more. Two parents of affected students, Shawnna Yashar and Asra Q. Nomani, decided to dig deeper and discovered TJ was ground zero for a systemic failure that has its roots in the so-called "equity" movement. Now it's been found that eighteen schools in four northern Virginia counties have similarly failed to notify students. Is it incompetence, or something more sinister? ***** TOP STORIES One Person Inspired an Insurrection, the Other Is Brandon Straka Nancy Pelosi's Exorcism Gavin Newsom's 'Suicide Pact' With the Truth Washington, D.C.'s Vote-Stealing Law Is Treason Another Wave of Joe Biden J-O-B-S Losses ***** MORE INFO VictoriaTaft.com Victoria Taft @ PJ Media --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/victoria-taft/support

About This Episode: In his newest book, 'The College Cartel', Sahaj Sharda is starting an essential debate about the monopolistic greed of the Ivy League colleges and other elite schools. ​​In recent years, elite colleges have been sued for price-fixing, sued for discrimination in admissions, and scandalized by Varsity Blues. Sahaj's book is both an exploration of these scandals and an analysis of the underlying force creating them: an artificial scarcity of elite seats. A graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, America's top-ranked high school, Sahaj noticed early on that plenty of intelligent students who can obviously handle the rigor at elite colleges are rejected every year. Having been an undergraduate student at Georgetown when the Varsity Blues scandal broke out, Sahaj further witnessed a fellow classmate's parents sentenced to jail. ​​Seeing these things, Sahaj was forced to question why. 'Why don't elite colleges want more students?' '​​Why do elite colleges refuse customers?' ​​As Sahaj explains in his book, the answer lies in an elite college seat cartel which has been successful at restricting enrollment across America's top colleges. Against students, this college cartel has falsely increased prices through scarcity and also outright price-fixing. ​​Sahaj is attending Columbia Law School's, where he will focus on antitrust laws so that he can fight the economically abusive use of monopoly power by big companies in higher education and beyond.
