Trump administration puts new pressure on UC Berkeley with investigation into foreign funding

The Trump administration, which is engaged in an effort to exert control over universities it sees as promoting liberalism, said Friday it is looking into whether UC Berkeley violated federal requirements for disclosing funding from foreign sources.

In a news release, the U.S. Department of Education cited “credible news media reports” in 2023 indicating that UC Berkeley had failed to disclose “hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from a foreign government.”

The announcement comes one week after the Education Department said it was investigating Harvard University for similar reasons.

At stake for UC Berkeley are billions of dollars in federal funding, a punishment that is not merely theoretical. The Trump administration is already withholding billions of dollars from Harvard and Columbia universities in an effort to pressure the schools to adhere to President Donald Trump’s political agenda.
