This article in Globe provides a few details from AOs. I don’t feel like there is enough information to know why DoJ is interested in the data. Many details not disclosed in all the articles I’ve read so far. For example, are they interested in the information sharing and privacy aspect of this, or the perceived “collusion” if colleges make admissions decisions based on shared information. What part of the ED agreement is legally binding? Would this “problem” be solved if AOs who practice information-sharing clearly notified families that of possibility information might be shared (to reduce likelihood someone would “game” the system)? Does this have anything to do with the ongoing DoJ investigation into affirmative action issues at Harvard?
