US Justice Department probes Harvard over alleged discriminatory financial aid programs

The U.S. Justice Department has initiated an investigation into Harvard University's financial aid programs, specifically examining whether scholarships funded by Chinese donors discriminate against American students. The department's Civil Rights Division is reviewing if these programs, which reportedly limit aid based on country of origin, violate U.S. law by potentially excluding American citizens. This action is part of a broader effort to ensure that institutions receiving federal funds do not accept foreign donations that lead to discriminatory aid practices. AI
