Harvard has received over $1.1 billion in foreign funding since 2012, per an initial Department of Education report.
The DOE report — released Tuesday — examined Harvard and other universities’ compliance with foreign funding criteria. Its release comes as department officials are investigating Harvard’s funding from contracts or gifts connected to the governments of China, Iran, Russia, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
Under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, American universities are required to disclose all donations of over $250,000 from a foreign source.
