Republican lawmakers launched a broad investigation into all eight Ivy League universities Tuesday, alleging they illegally colluded to inflate tuition prices, violating federal antitrust laws and burdening students with soaring costs.
Detailed, seven-page letters were sent to the university presidents at Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University demanding documents and communications to answer whether or not their coordinated practices harm students and families.
