The latest salvo from the Trump administration fired at Harvard comes only in part from the current standoff over anti-Semitic intimidation campaigns and discriminatory practices. Five years ago, Trump's team opened an investigation into Harvard's revenue streams over concerns of full reporting as well as foreign influence in Academia. Joe Biden buried that probe, officially last year but almost certainly never took it seriously.
Suddenly the investigation is back on, the Wall Street Journal reports, and this time the Trump administration has at least three years to pursue it:
The Trump administration is pressing Harvard University to turn over records on the money it receives from foreign sources going back a decade, the latest in a growing pressure campaign against the nation’s most prominent university.American universities get billions in grants, contracts or gifts from foreign sources, which they must report semiannually to the government. In a Thursday letter to Harvard President Alan Garber, the U.S. Department of Education’s office of the General Counsel wrote that Harvard made “incomplete and inaccurate” disclosures between 2014 and 2019.

National Review covered the issue last month, before the fight with Harvard over its anti-Semitism and discriminatory practices heated up. It's not just the amount of money that's the concern, but the origin of the money:

I’m enjoying watching Trump exact revenge on the bastards on the left who hate this country.
Harvard has been getting millions - actually billions - from the Middle East for decades. His Highness the Aga Kahn was there at the college in the 50’s with his tutors and valet. He later gave millions for his Islamic Architecture programs. That is just the tip of the iceburg. The Medical School, School of Public Health and many other schools at Harvard have relied on their millions.
And report on who paid Hussein Øbowel’s tuition.
Now we’re talking!
Now we’re talking!
