Trump Admin. SLAMS Harvard Over $630M China Aid!
Is it possible that private donations to prestigious universities could be enabling illegal discrimination against American students? The Trump administration's Justice Department has opened a new investigation into Harvard University, alleging its "China-based financial aid programs" might be illegally favoring international students, particularly from China, at the expense of U.S. citizens. This probe specifically scrutinizes whether Harvard is accepting funds from Chinese donors with restrictions that create scholarships solely for students from certain countries, which the department argues could violate civil rights law. Harvard, which has accepted a staggering $630 million from Chinese sources over decades, maintains it adheres to all legal obligations and does not discriminate. This investigation marks another front in the Trump administration's ongoing legal battle against the Ivy League institution, pushing for greater transparency in foreign funding amidst national security concerns. For instance, a 2014 donation of $15 million from Chinese real estate moguls Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin specifically targeted financial aid for Chinese students, drawing criticism even within China. The Justice Department is making an unusual legal argument that such restricted private funding could constitute a civil rights violation for American students.
