Dept. of Ed. Investigation Uncovers Over a Billion in Unreported Foreign University Funding

h/t Instapundit
An Education Department investigation revealed universities failed to report more than a billion dollars in foreign funding, which officials believe is only a sliver of the unreported overseas donations flowing onto campuses.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos told the Washington Examiner she had launched a preliminary investigation into six universities but already turned up an alarming $1.3 billion in foreign funding over the past seven years from nations such as China, Russia, and Qatar that the schools hadn’t told the federal government about, despite their legal requirement to do so.

Only six? Imagine how much is out there just in the Ivy League schools.

"It is already a reporting requirement for schools to report all foreign contributions. From my perspective, it’s a simple requirement: Report all foreign money you get." DeVos said. "We’re going to continue to raise the flag on this, and we think, just given what we’ve seen scratching the surface, there’s a lot there that has gone undetected."

DeVos said foreign funding is an administration-wide national security concern.

#3 If they were unreported, they should be seized. Then like civil forfeiture make them work to get them back.
