The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) announced an investigation into Harvard and Yale on Wednesday and accused both universities of failing to report foreign gifts and contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The federal agency claimed Yale failed to report at least $375 million in foreign transactions and hasn't reported any gifts or contracts for the last four years. The DOE did not say how much Harvard might have failed to report. Section 117 of the Higher Education Act requires American Title IV-eligible colleges and universities to report any foreign gifts or contracts that exceed $250,000 in value. Institutions must also disclose any foreign ownership or control, twice each year -- something many schools have failed to do, according to federal officials. A spokesperson from Yale's office of public affairs and communications provided a statement to Fox News, saying: "Yesterday, Yale received a Department of Education request for records of certain gifts and contracts from foreign sources under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965. We are reviewing the request and preparing to respond to it."
这个不是针对拿钱给学上的，是针对national security的。 Education Department Investigating Harvard, Yale Over Foreign FundingOfficials accuse schools across U.S. of soliciting funds from foreign governments, companies known to be hostile to the country
The Education Department opened investigations into Harvard and Yale as part of a continuing review that it says has found U.S. universities failed to report at least $6.5 billion in foreign funding from countries such as China and Saudi Arabia, according to department materials viewed by The Wall Street Journal. The investigations into the Ivy League schools are the latest in a clash between U.S. universities and a coalition of federal officials including law enforcement, research funders such as the National Institutes of Health, and a bipartisan group in Congress that has raised concerns about higher-education institutions’ reliance on foreign money, particularly from China. Representatives for Harvard and Yale said their universities are working on responses to the Education Department. The department described higher-education institutions in the U.S., in a document viewed by the Journal, as “multi-billion dollar, multi-national enterprises using opaque foundations, foreign campuses, and other sophisticated legal structures to generate revenue.” U.S. universities have generally defended their international collaborations and said the Education Department’s reporting requirements remain unclear, which officials deny. Universities are required to disclose to the Education Department all contracts and gifts from a foreign source that, alone or combined, are worth $250,000 or more in a calendar year. Though the statute is decades old, the department only recently began to vigorously enforce it. Officials accused schools of actively soliciting money from foreign governments, companies and nationals known to be hostile to the U.S. and potentially in search of opportunities to steal research and “spread propaganda benefitting foreign governments,” according to the document. In addition, while the department said it has found foreign money generally flows to the country’s richest universities, “such money apparently does not reduce or otherwise offset American students’ tuition costs,” the document said. U.S. officials say China uses a variety of means to target academia, including government-funded talent recruitment programs such as the Thousand Talents Plan. The arrest last month of the chairman of Harvard’s chemistry department on federal charges of lying about receiving millions of dollars in Chinese funding through the program while the U.S. shelled out more than $15 million to fund his research group catapulted the issue into the spotlight. In a letter to Harvard dated Tuesday and posted on the Education Department website, officials cited the recent Justice Department case and asked the school to disclose records of gifts or contracts involving the governments of China, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran. It also requested records regarding telecommunications giants Huawei Technologies Co. and ZTE Corp. of China; the Kaspersky Lab and Skolkovo Foundation of Russia; and the Alavi Foundation of Iran, among others. The Education Department said Yale had failed to disclose at least $375 million in foreign funding after filing no reports from 2014-17, according to a document viewed by the Journal. The department, also in a letter Tuesday to the university, sought records regarding contributions from Saudi Arabia, China and its telecom giants, Peking University’s Yenching Academy, the National University of Singapore, Qatar and others. It also asked the university to detail foreign funding of Yale Law School’s Paul Tsai China Center and the new Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs. If the schools refuse to disclose the information, the Education Department can refer the matter to the Justice Department, which could pursue civil or criminal actions. The push for funding disclosure is being driven by concerns about foreign efforts to exploit American academia. Trump administration officials and a bipartisan group of allies in Congress fear China and other foreign rivals are seeking to use donations or collaborative research to gain access to scientific knowledge that would allow them to achieve national strategic goals and narrow their economic or military gaps with the U.S. Some university officials have dismissed the U.S. government’s broader national security concerns regarding foreign involvement in universities as hyperbolic, or even discriminatory, and said there should be no restrictions on unclassified research meant to be published anyway. They have also said international collaboration—particularly with China—is essential to advancing scientific discoveries that will benefit humankind. A February 2019 investigation by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations called foreign government funding of U.S. universities “a black hole” and said it found that nearly 70% failed to properly report funding from Chinese government-backed cultural and language programs known as Confucius Institutes. Sens. Rob Portman (R., Ohio ) and Tom Carper (D., Del.), who lead the Senate panel, said in a joint statement the Journal: “The fact that $6.5 billion in foreign gifts to U.S. institutions went unreported until now is shocking and unacceptable…We are pleased that the Department of Education is increasing enforcement efforts and taking a step towards ensuring academic freedom in America.” Education Department officials in June 2019 launched a series of investigations into universities’ foreign funding. The Harvard and Yale investigations are the department’s seventh and eighth probes following others at schools including Georgetown University, Cornell University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Education Department officials said in the document viewed by the Journal that its investigations have prompted public and private universities across the country to come forward since July 2019 to collectively report more than $6.5 billion in previously undisclosed foreign funding. A spokeswoman for MIT said the university’s reporting of foreign gifts and contracts has been based on “improved processes” since January 2019 and that it is committed to working constructively with federal officials. Georgetown and Cornell didn’t respond to requests for comment. The Education Department has hit back at university groups that have criticized its recent enforcement drive. For example, in a September 2019 letter addressed to one group that represents more than 200 universities, an official called the universities’ reporting duties “plainly evident.” He added: “You have asked the Department to ‘work with the higher education community to…balance the interests of transparency and the complicated nature of reporting.’ There is no statutory basis for any such ‘balance.’” Write to Kate O’Keeffe at [email protected]

土豪权贵们把清华北大的大门用钱砸开后，不满足，再砸开哈佛耶鲁的大门。 毁掉一个个象牙塔。
希望这次彻底查清！
她不至于出钱，但出钱上名校的多了，北大校长XXX的儿子和儿媳妇，不就是用钱开道上的哈佛么？

光看发帖时间了，没看内容，请一定谅解，谢谢！！
np. understood.
谢谢咖啡因mm补充， 感觉就是用national security这个才能引起关注和重视，相信我，一定会挖出很多国内土豪捐钱的内幕的。 潘石屹等等，都跑不了。
现在的大学早不是以前的象牙塔了，特别黑，特别烂。
national security查出来是大罪，参见哈弗化学系。小潘这个顶多是贿赂，不是买情报，性质不太一样。
说真话，这些年大学们被宠坏了。学费涨，教学被稀释，该整了。
另外，俄罗斯那个skolkovo是专门成立为了窃取美国技术的。当年里面的小公司很多给希拉里捐钱贿赂，后来该组织被美国军方还是情报方来着揭露了。
非常同意。
培养出来一大批民主党支持者 让这个国家不断在泥潭里挣扎
能再贴一下不。没定wsj 免费额度又用完了
看不了全文
当然可以收，但是要汇报，美国的好处就是一切讲规矩
更新了，mm可以看了。
这个查，是因为他们不汇报。个人交税年年查，凭什么高校拿钱就捂着不按规矩上报？
😂😂😂原来他们没有雇佣好的律师和会计。没关系，校友们很快就会摆平一切。

Re
民主黨就是50步的共產黨，所以臭味相投，沆瀣一氣
也想讲同样的话。该汇报的为什么不汇报。
还有任正非的女儿也是钱砸开的，尽管据说他女儿其实也很优秀，但加上这个保险
这些有钱人拿钱塞子女去名校不是主要问题，
所以哈佛和耶鲁是美国高校所以也讲规矩，或者他们不讲规矩所以已经不是美国高校了？
什么都和中国联系起来，我就冷笑三声了，哈佛耶鲁录取时对其他种族的偏爱华人网上一帮较好的，拿经费时一帮叫彻查的。纳闷呢，人家经费录取管你毛线事，你和你家小孩又没有上哈佛耶鲁的命
借你个锅盖，免得一群容不得说美国不好的华人喷。

现在不是什么讲道理的时候了，已经拿national security来压了，而且已经启动有一段时间了，现在不过是演化到了全面铺开的阶段。
有什么懵逼的，化学系主任当千人、还不公开fund来源，他的上下级、同事、其他系的会不知道？有样学样的不知道有多少呢
算是被政治绑架吧 或者compliance issue? 私立大学拿国外的捐助不是很正常吗 那么多国际学生和国际毕业生呢。
完全赞同。他们越来越左，越来越象共产党。我倒是希望民主党内有人起来清理自己的党，别再这么瞎搞。美国还是两党保持平衡的好。
同等检查报告 拭目以待
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/429292-the-case-for-russia-collusion-against-the-democrats已经不是COMPLIANCE ISSUE或者政治问题了。
doj会继续查的，哈佛化学教授只是冰山一角。
实话实说要不是渗透不了老川，
不出多久美国就是由那谁们实质控制，民主自由人权统统将只成追忆了。想想那些成天骂老川是商人重利的人，心中其实因为收买不了老川而是多么的苦闷憋屈啊。

难道你觉得美国没有试图对中国对朝鲜对俄罗斯对其他国家全方面渗透？那些反对党反对派谁支持的？中东那里谁在搅？大国争斗都是一直在做的事。没有只说明还不够重要。
一边偷窃一边扮可怜要最惠待遇的争斗方式，只有一个大国一直在做。

这世界永远都是实力大的比较光明正大，因为光明正大就可以了，underdog相对下作。等两方势力掉过来，行为模式也就掉过来了。还不要说有的大国实力强的时候也不是光明正大呢。
奇怪那么恨中国是为了什么。恨到不能辩证地分析思考？
你私下问问各国老百姓，如果必须要被渗透，是希望被美国渗透，还是希望被中国渗透？
应该奇怪那么爱护偷窃是为了什么？爱到脸皮和羞耻心都可以牺牲了去给无耻行为洗地？
应该奇怪那么爱护偷窃是为了什么？爱到脸皮和羞耻心都可以牺牲了去给无耻行为洗地？
到现在还不知道中东谁在搅也太那个了！伊拉克人现在日子比萨达姆被杀前好很多，人民知道了没有独裁者才叫过日子，一步步向文明国家。中共给伊朗供血，中共在的地方还在流血。中共的好儿子北朝鲜，津巴布韦有今天多亏曾经有中共这个魔鬼朋友。
此一时彼一时。当时美国白人抢印第安土地的时候你去问问世界各国啊。
铁杆反共也就算了，铁杆反中的中国裔可是真的挺混蛋的。
