House Republicans subpoena Harvard president over alleged tuition practices
- On June 26, 2025, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Harvard University president Alan Garber demanding documents on tuition and financial aid practices amid an ongoing antitrust investigation.
- The subpoena follows initial document requests sent on April 8 and extends a deadline Harvard missed on April 22, after which the Committee issued compulsory process to secure needed materials.
- The Committee alleges that Ivy League universities, including Harvard, have been collectively increasing tuition fees while strategically tailoring financial aid offers to enhance their financial gains through price discrimination.
- Harvard denies collusion allegations, stating it has produced thousands of documents in good faith, but the Committee criticizes most provided materials as publicly available and inadequate.
- The subpoena intensifies congressional scrutiny amid broader conflicts between Harvard and federal authorities, suggesting potential future legal action if compliance remains insufficient.
