Harvard, Yale under US investigation over foreign funding

The Education Department told Harvard it was opening an administrative investigation because it was "aware of information" suggesting the university "lacks appropriate institutional controls.. Over the past year, it has become apparent that there is "widespread non-compliance across US universities," an Education Department spokesman told Bloomberg last week.. The agency sent letters to the universities dated yesterday requesting records related to gifts or contracts from a foreign source.. " As a result, its reporting may not include the entirety of gifts or contracts with foreign sources.. The agency sent a similar letter to Yale, saying the university appeared to fail to report a single gift or contract from 2014 through 2017, and asked for records related to all its foreign sites and gifts from countries including Saudi Arabia, China and others..
