Most have attributed the increase in foreign students at these universities to the fact that they are "full pay." This certainly casts a whole new light on that term.
The article says that this issue gained prominence after the arrest of a Harvard Chemistry Professor who didn't disclose the fact that he received funding from the Chinese government for a project that was being funded by the U.S. government. https://www.wsj.com/articles/education-department-investigating-harvard-yale-over-foreign-funding-11581539042 The Education Department opened investigations into Harvard and Yale as part of a continuing review that it says has found U.S. universities failed to report at least $6.5 billion in foreign funding from countries such as China and Saudi Arabia, according to department materials viewed by The Wall Street Journal. |

Yes, corruption is bad - in universities and in our government.
The Harvard guy was profiting himself as an individual - Harvard wasn’t. Bad guys abusing the system. Sounds familiar. |

| Now look at who manages those funds, which organizations benefit, and look at which nations or companies benefit. |

Didn't some Rs fail to disclose funding from foreign sources? Didn't the NRA get Russian money? Did they report it? I honestly can't recall. |

Read more carefully. The incident with the Harvard Professor just brought additional scrutiny that has brought billions more of contributions to the colleges themselves to light. There is a longstanding law that requires that such contributions be reported to the Department of Education, but it hasn't been enforced and the colleges have been basically ignoring it. |

Interesting how the comments about Democrats receiving $$ from foreign countries get deleted, but the ones referring to Republicans stand. I really enjoy this board, but I'm done with the moderator's political agenda. |

+1 Even better, tuition fees should be capped by law at say $10k/ year. |

With that amount, they probably will charge you a fee for every question you ask in the classroom. The professors are too expensive to hire, and the teaching/research facilities are too costly to acquire. |

I think you are confused with the illegal funding from the Chinese to the Clintons. How conveniently you forget. https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/07/chinese-illegally-donated-bill-clinton-reelection-campaign-media-downplayed/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chinese-company-pledged-2-million-to-clinton-foundation-in-2013/ |

I have noticed this, too. Liberal snowflakes need to live in their utopia to survive. |
