DOJ says it is probing Harvard over financial aid programs

The Department of Justice has launched a probe into Harvard University to determine if specific financial aid programs are discriminatory. This investigation, initiated by the Civil Rights Division under President Donald Trump's administration, focuses on alleged China-based funding. The DOJ is reviewing whether these programs unlawfully discriminate against students who are U.S. citizens, following an audit of the university's foreign funding disclosures which revealed multiple contracts and gifts linked to foreign sources.
