Universities failed to report more than a billion dollars in foreign funding, officials believe is only a sliver of the unreported overseas donations flowing onto campuses..........“It is already a reporting requirement for schools to report all foreign contributions...It’s a simple requirement: Report all foreign money you get.”
...Nations such as China, Russia, and Qatar hadn’t told the federal government about. DeVos said foreign funding is an administration-wide 'national security concern'.
China’s secretive influence on campus figured most prominently.....“One university received research funding from a Chinese multinational conglomerate to develop new algorithms and advance biometric security techniques for crowd surveillance capabilities,” .... also revealed 5 of the 6 universities had or have contacts with Huawei, a Chinese telecommunications company that U.S. intelligence community deemed a national security threat, the FCC banned from federal broadband subsidies, and the Justice Depart is prosecuting for allegedly evading sanctions, stealing trade secrets, and obstructing justice.
Investigation showed one university had 'multiple contracts with the ruling Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee', and one university also received gifts from a foundation “suspected of acting as a propaganda and influence front” for the Chinese government. Another promotes a Thousand Talents Program, which the FBI deems a Chinese form of “nontraditional espionage," through a Chinese company with close ties to China’s government.
The investigation showed one university had a relationship with Kaspersky Lab, a Russia-based cybersecurity company whose products the Trump administration banned gov. agencies from using amid concerns it worked with Russian intelligence.
The attorney also cited court filings that show Qatari donations are made strategically to advance Qatari interests and that secrecy is often part of the agreement in receiving those funds.

Collusion!!
Give ‘em the Pol Pot treatment
Other than Hillsdale and couple of others they all need to be Phoenixed.
Wonder how much of that goes for “scholarships”? and to whom?
The UMD also has a large DHS-funded program. I wonder about connected research programs and if this is true at the other universities mentioned.
Doubtful any of it does....but that would be like trying to prove a suite agaainst a Dr...you have to prove ‘injury’.
If people understood how so called ‘research programs’ operate and who they serve and acquire their funding for nobody would give.
Democrat liberals infested the school system
its laundering...money we sent overseas...back toward those who made it happen. Nothing like a “little walking around scholarship money” for Congresscritters kid..
Yet American parents are going to jail for trying to get their kids into college using bribes / donations because of the obstacles the liberals use like using race based admissions but college presidents are free to attend get together’s accepting massive bribes from foreign countries.
