The letter did not provide any evidence to show that it was happening.
Harvard said he has recorded such reports for decades, “as part of the ongoing compliance with the law.”
“As is required, Harvard’s report includes gifts and contract information from more than $ 250K annually. It includes contracting education, other training and contracts to provide educational publications,” the university said.
Between the information sought by the letter within 30 days, there were records to expel foreign students going back nearly a decade, people who were expelled and a list of researchers, students and faculties in Harvard who are affiliated to foreign governments.
