The House judicial committee issued lectures to Brown University and the University of Pennsylvania on Tuesday and asked for additional documents from the schools to violate antitrust rights in the tuition fees and financial aid guidelines as part of an ongoing investigation.

The two lectures reflected one that was issued by the committee to Harvard University last week.

Brown, Penn and Harvard belong to a group of eight universities from the Ivy League, who received all letters from the committee in April and demanded a huge tranche of documents and records.

It was unclear on Tuesday whether the other five schools that had received demands would also be issued. You are Dartmouth University, Princeton University, Columbia University, Cornell University and Yale University.

The committee says it has been examined whether the universities of the Ivy League have their tuition fees together in a kind of price fixation.

It is also weighed whether the schools used their knowledge of the personal financial situations of the applicants to inform tuition fee packages that maximized the collected schools. The committee described this practice as synonymous with the price discrimination.

In the letters on Tuesday, the chairman of the committee, Jim Jordan from Ohio, and the chairman of the sub -committee, Scott Fitzgerald from Wisconsin, wrote that both Browns and Penns were “inadequate” in April.

These inquiries found 11 topics on which the committee desired all records and e -mails and internal documents from the schools of six years.

A Brown spokesman told CNBC that the university “consistently worked together” with the congress examination.

“While the summons of the House Committee of July 1, in view of our voluntary compliance, was unnecessary,” said the spokesman, “we fully recognize the committee supervisory authority and will continue to provide the committee with information that he has requested.”

Penn also “immediately and consistently” employed the committee's inquiries, a spokesman told CNBC. As part of this commitment, the school has so far provided more than 8,000 pages of documents to the congress.

Brown and Penn have until July 22nd to comply with the lectures. Harvard was given until July 17th.

According to the committee, the lectures of the university and the documents they force you will consider “potential legislative reforms”.

This includes “sufficient civil and criminal sanctions and current law enforcement efforts are sufficient to prevent competitive practices between universities.”

A conclusion of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, according to Wall Street Journal, has the greatest influence on the salaries of graduates.
