Chairmen Jordan and Fitzgerald Subpoena Brown and Penn
July 1, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust Chairman Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI) sent subpoenas to Brown University President Dr. Christina Paxson and University of Pennsylvania President Dr. J. Larry Jameson seeking documents and communications related to Ivy League member institutions collectively raising tuition prices while engaging in perfect price discrimination by offering selective financial aid packages to maximize profits.
Brown and Penn have failed to fully comply with the Committee's investigation. Now eighty-four days following the Committee's initial April 8 requests to Brown University and University of Pennsylvania, their responses have been inadequate. Accordingly, the Committee is issuing subpoenas to obtain the documents and materials it needs to fulfill its oversight and legislative responsibilities.
