US says it is probing foreign donations at University of Pennsylvania
The US Department of Education has initiated an investigation into the University of Pennsylvania for allegedly failing to accurately disclose foreign donations exceeding $250,000. The inquiry includes requests for tax records, agreements with foreign entities, and information on university personnel linked to foreign governments.

This investigation is part of a broader crackdown by the Trump administration on universities over various issues, including funding threats related to policies on transgender athletes and campus protests.

Parkhomenko, who has lived in exile since 2021, emphasizes that the commemorations have become tools for promoting a narrative of strength and aggression, contrasting sharply with the more somber reflections of the past.
