Secretary of State Marco Rubio is advocating for an investigation into Harvard University for allegedly violating federal sanctions by hosting a health insurance conference in China involving blacklisted officials. This recommendation to the Treasury Department is seen as an unusual move aimed at a domestic entity. The Trump administration’s broader agenda against Harvard has intensified, focusing on its foreign connections and curriculum issues. This ongoing scrutiny indicates deeper concerns about Harvard's partnerships and the implications for its federal funding and legal standing.
"Mr. Rubio signed off on a recommendation to the Treasury Department last month to open an investigation, which experts said was an unusual attempt from a cabinet secretary."
"The effort initially relied primarily on accusations that university officials had not done enough to address antisemitism on campus; however, the administration's focus has expanded to other issues, including allegations about Harvard's foreign ties, particularly to China."
