Reps. James Comer (R-Ky.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) have jointly sent a letter to six universities demanding that they submit records about their foreign funding.

The six universities are the University of Chicago, University of Delaware, Harvard University, New York University, University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), and Yale University. According to their letter dated Aug. 3, the schools must hand over “all unredacted records of gifts from, contracts, or contracts or agreements” with foreign sources since January 2015. They are to submit the records to the lawmakers before Aug. 10.
