Trump Administration Demands Records From Penn on Foreign Ties

The Trump administration on Thursday accused the University of Pennsylvania of submitting incomplete, inaccurate financial disclosures about its foreign ties and ordered the Ivy League school to provide a raft of records.

The demand for documents included the names and contact information of university personnel who work with foreign governments, including in research collaborations and student exchange programs.

Officials suggested in a letter sent on Thursday from the Education Department to J. Larry Jameson, the president of Penn, that the college has struggled with veracity in its disclosures of foreign funding.
