US Lawmakers Ask 6 Top Universities to Hand Over Records of Foreign Donations

Fang Bing

   NEW YORK - Three members of the U.S. Congress are asking six of the
   nation's top universities to hand over records of donations they have
   accepted from certain foreign nations, including China and Russia,
   citing concerns that these multimillion-dollar donations present a
   growing national security threat.

   Letters aimed at helping the members to "further understand the effects
   of adversarial foreign direct investments in the U.S. higher education
   system" were sent to the presidents of Harvard, New York University,
   Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago and
   University of Delaware. [1]The letters sent this week ask the
   presidents to provide all records of gifts from China, Qatar, Saudi
   Arabia, Iran and Russia since January 2015.
