The U.S. Department of Education has initiated an investigation into the University of California, Berkeley, over allegations of not reporting substantial foreign funding, particularly from China. UC Berkeley received $220 million from Chinese government officials for its Shenzhen campus but did not report this payment, violating the Higher Education Act's disclosure requirements. The investigation aims to review all related foreign funding exceeding $250,000 and examine whether any American technologies were transferred to China. The university is expected to respond within 30 days with relevant records to determine compliance.
