Harvard and Yale Under Investigation for Failing to Report Foreign Gifts Worth Millions
“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.”
This is a big deal. The investigation is being done by the Department of Education.

Harvard, Yale under investigation over foreign gifts totaling hundreds of millions of dollars
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.”

I wonder how much of this unreported money originates from Muslim countries.
Or, our Most Favored Nation trading partne, Communist China?
Or Russia!

I understand Cornell, MIT and Georgetown too.
Lock ’em up in the same jail cell with Paul Manafort who was convicted of failing to report under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.
Another reason they have viciously attacked Devos, because they knew she would actually look at what is being done in the name of “education”.
