Universities Taking Cash from Suspicious Foreign Sources | Denver News

Top U.S. universities are under fire after receiving millions from foreign entities flagged on federal security watch lists — including a Chinese aeronautics firm’s $7M to three major schools and Bryant University’s $22.6M over 50 years from a Beijing institute. The State Department is now warning R-1 research giants that future grants may be revoked if they continue accepting funds from suspicious sources. Though universities have been required to report foreign gifts over $250K since 1986, enforcement has been lax — until now. Agencies like the NSF are tightening rules to block collaborations with restricted entities, forcing schools to balance global research with national security.
