House Republicans Launch Investigation into Harvard’s China, Iran Research Ties
House Republicans have launched an investigation into Harvard University over concerns about its collaborations with Chinese and Iranian entities that may pose national security risks. The lawmakers allege that Harvard hosted and trained members of a Chinese paramilitary organization, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and partnered with China-based researchers linked to the country's military and industrial base, including on projects funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. Additionally, Harvard's partnerships with Iran's government-controlled National Science Foundation have raised questions about potential violations of U.S. sanctions. The investigation demands internal documents and communications related to these research collaborations, particularly focusing on projects with potential military applications and ethical issues surrounding human rights. The inquiry is part of broader Republican scrutiny of Harvard following federal actions freezing billions in funding and probing the university's reporting of foreign gifts and hiring practices. Harvard has acknowledged receipt of the investigation letter and intends to respond by the June 2 deadline set by the committee chairs.
