The U.S. Education Department has accused Harvard University of failing to fully comply with federal regulations requiring full disclosure of foreign gifts and contracts exceeding $250,000. A review revealed disclosures to be 'incomplete and inaccurate,' prompting a records request for additional documentation regarding foreign funding and student expulsion records. This scrutiny follows Harvard's recent refusal to heed demands from the Trump administration’s antisemitism task force, leading agencies like the IRS and DHS to reassess the university’s tax-exempt status and international student enrollment capabilities.
