U.S. Education Department and State Department Investigating University of North Dakota’s School of Aerospace

(KNOX) –The U.S. Department of Education and the State Department are investigating the University of North Dakota’s School of Aerospace. The school of aerospace is accused of submitting government disclosures that are apparently incomplete and inaccurate.

A press release from Wednesday says that the school of aerospace has been investing and is involved in Chinese aviation companies “known to have close associations with China’s military.”

UND is being asked to provide a list of its foreign financial disclosures within the next 30 days.  The 1965 Higher Education Act requires American universities to report any foreign gifts that are worth over $250,000.

UND is not the only university being investigated by both departments.  Duke University, located in Durham, North Carolina, is currently being investigated for its relationship with Wuhan University in China.
