watchdog group is asking the U.S. Education Department to investigate the University of Pennsylvania and its Biden Center, a diplomacy and global engagement initiative named after the Democratic presidential candidate, for accepting millions of dollars in anonymous funds from Chinese donors.

The complaint, filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, says that over the past three years, the university has accepted around $22 million in anonymous funding from Chinese sources. That's out of a total of more than $70 million from Chinese donors during that time, the NLPC said.

Those significant funds, including the anonymous amounts, rolled in after the Biden Center was announced in early 2017 and launched in February 2018. The center is located in downtown Washington, D.C.

The NLPC in its complaint specifically requested that the Education Department "obtain and inspect all copies of the monetary gifts and contracts, whether or not listed as Anonymous, in order to determine what if any conditions or restrictions were or are placed on those gifts or contracts."

The university has received numerous other anonymous international donations over the contested time period, including a $2 million gift from Canada last year and a $1 million donation from Hong Kong.

Should have had a line of monks come up one at a time and donate $5,000 each.

Bhuddist monks and nuns?

They supposedly live austerely so they should have some extra cash laying around.

Wait...What?

They don't work?
