Trump Administration Claims Harvard Failed to Report Large Foreign Donations
Briefly

The Trump administration has intensified scrutiny on Harvard University, claiming it has failed to report substantial foreign donations as mandated by law. In a recent letter to the university president, Harvard was ordered to submit detailed records of foreign donors and communications, dating back several years. A Harvard spokesman contends that the university has historically complied with these reporting laws, having submitted Section 117 reports for decades. This latest action appears part of a broader effort by the administration to penalize institutions that challenge its policies, resulting in federal grants freezes and threats to revoke tax-exempt status.
The Trump administration's scrutiny of Harvard escalates as it demands disclosures related to foreign donors, alumni, and funding compliance, further complicating the university's relationship with federal authorities.
Harvard's president was instructed to provide extensive records regarding foreign donations and communications, as part of the administration's broader push against higher education institutions that resist its agenda.
