💨 Abstract

The Trump administration launched an investigation into the University of California, Berkeley, over foreign funding, specifically regarding undisclosed funds from a foreign government, believed to be China, for a joint institute with Tsinghua University. This renews years-old criticism about the partnership and comes after the President signed executive orders focusing on universities seen as adversaries to his political agenda. UC Berkeley denies the claims, stating they have been cooperating with federal inquiries about reporting issues.
