House Republicans subpoena Harvard president over alleged tuition practices

  • The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard in July 2025 demanding documents on alleged Ivy League price-fixing.
  • The subpoenas follow an April 8 request amid concerns that the schools used applicant financial data to maximize tuition through discriminatory aid packages.
  • The investigation involves eight Ivy League universities and arose after lawmakers heard testimony, including from Brown student Alex Shieh on administrative bloat raising costs.
  • The schools have provided thousands of pages of documents, but committee chairs called Brown and Penn's responses inadequate and emphasized the importance of legislative reforms.
  • The probe could lead to new legislation addressing whether current antitrust penalties effectively deter anticompetitive financial practices in higher education.
