They were further advised to forward the tuition invoices to designated unit officers, who in turn would present them to the Defense Department in Washington. Not long after the bills were sent to parents, the Department of Justice joined eight servicemen stationed at Camp Lejeune in a suit filed in U.S. district court in Raleigh, N.C., to ask a judge to declare the tuition plan unconstitutional. A ruling is expected by the end of next month...
