Kingsepp v. Wesleyan University

Kingsepp (plaintiff), a Wesleyan student, filed a putative class antitrust suit alleging tuition and financial-aid price-fixing against Wesleyan and Williams (both corporations) and Dartmouth (organized as a trust) (defendants); the defendants moved to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and improper venue. Dartmouth had no New York address but conducted extensive high-school recruiting visits and other significant business activities, including banking and real estate, in the state.
