Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
New Members Gain Antitrust Protection
On October 31, 2025, 1EdTech Consortium added organizations (including Rockwell Information Systems; University of Bremen; Dallas College; Rutgers University; Delft University of Technology; TruScholar; Impierce Technologies; Audio Enhancement; Des Moines Area Community College; and others) and filed notifications to extend the Act's protection that limits antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages. As parties to this venture, those added organizations are covered by that limitation on recovery.
Withdrawn Members Lose Venture Protection
Several organizations (including Digital Respons-Ability; University of Nottingham Online; State University of New York System; California IT in Education; SCIVR, Inc.; Idaho Education Technology Association; StrongMind) withdrew as parties to the 1EdTech Consortium. Those withdrawn organizations are no longer parties to the venture and therefore are not covered by the Act's limitation on recovery for this consortium.
Consortium Membership Remains Open
The notice states that membership in the 1EdTech Consortium remains open and that the consortium intends to file additional notifications whenever members join or leave. Organizations considering joining can seek to become parties to the venture and be included under the Act's limitation on recovery by filing and being listed.
