Audacy

The Justice Department is investigating Harvard’s financial aid practices for international students, focusing on scholarships funded by Chinese donors. This raises questions about compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws and highlights risks tied to foreign funding in higher education.

While Stanford is not implicated, the investigation signals increased scrutiny of international partnerships and financial aid practices across the sector.

Why it matters: Ensuring transparency and compliance in financial aid policies will be critical to mitigating risks tied to international collaborations.
