The Justice Department is investigating whether Harvard University is allowing Chinese donors to create scholarships that exclude American students.
The investigation, announced by the department, centers on whether Harvard permits funds from Chinese sources to be earmarked for international students while excluding US citizens. Harvard stated it is reviewing the notice received from the Justice Department.
This inquiry adds to a series of federal investigations into the university’s financial practices and potential foreign influence. The Washington Times reported that the probe specifically examines if such scholarship arrangements violate any laws or regulations regarding equal access to educational opportunities.
No right-leaning outlets were found reporting on this story beyond the Washington Times. Left-leaning coverage, as exemplified by NDTV, simply relays the fact of the investigation and Harvard’s response without framing it in a particular light. The core question now is whether the Justice Department will find evidence of discriminatory practices within these scholarship programs, and what consequences might follow if such findings are made.
