The Department of Education’s (ED) Office of the General Counsel (OGC) is investigating the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) over the receipt of foreign funds and has sent a request for records to the institution, the ED said in a May 8 statement.

The “records request” was sent after a review of reports submitted by the university allegedly showed that foreign funding disclosures were “inaccurate and incomplete,” the department said.
