The Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Pennsylvania State University, accusing the school of allowing undocumented students to pay in-state tuition, according to The Hill's report on the suit. The Hill said the department argues that the policy discriminates against U.S. citizens.
The Hill, in a report by Lexi Lonas Cochran, quoted the department's position that "Congress made a deliberate policy choice" about which people may receive tuition benefits from states and their public institutions. The summary of that report cuts off partway through a sentence describing the condition attached to those benefits, so the full wording is not available from the summary.
Fox News reported the same core allegation, that the lawsuit accuses Pennsylvania State University of offering undocumented students in-state tuition rates that discriminate against U.S. citizens. Its report was published under a headline describing the suit as one brought by the Trump administration.
Both reports attribute the action to the Justice Department, which The Hill called the department and Fox News called the DOJ. Neither summary says how Pennsylvania State University has responded, which court received the filing, or how many students the policy affects.
The two accounts also differ on timing in their summaries. The Hill said the filing came on Thursday, while the Fox News summary does not name a day for the action. Based on the summaries alone, the reports agree on the university, the claim, and the government agency involved, but they do not supply further details about the case.
