Republicans say the Biden administration dropped the ball in enforcing rules related to foreign funding on U.S. campuses, as the Education Department has moved its enforcement back to the Federal Student Aid Office and has reportedly pledged to shut down investigations.
The Trump Education Department launched a sprawling investigation beginning in 2019 into the influence of the Chinese government and other foreign funding on campuses nationwide, asking universities to hand over a host of documents about foreign gifts, contracts, and any connections with Beijing funding. The department eventually singled out nearly two dozen different universities by the time former President Donald Trump left office, but the inquiries seem to be in a lengthy limbo.
Reed Rubinstein, the Trump Education Department’s general counsel, told the Washington Examiner: “The Biden Administration’s decision to move the Section 117 compliance program — which requires high order investigatory skills — back to Federal Student Aid is really a decision to bury the program. Among other things, this signals to the industry that the foreign money grab-fest is back, because the federal watchdog has been chained up.
“ED believes in working collaboratively with institutions of higher education to address foreign malign influence,” a department spokesperson said. “ED has continued to promote transparency and makes publicly available information about reported foreign gifts and contracts.”
