The Department of Education has again pushed back its planned publication of all foreign sources of ownership, gifts or contracts involving those institutions of higher education required to submit reports.
In a July 24 update to a July 6 Electronic Announcement, the Department has agreed to delay the planned publication of the names of all “foreign sources from prior reporting cycles” until August 12. Earlier in July, the Department agreed to delay the publication until July 29.
Section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) requires institutions of higher education that offer a bachelor’s degree or higher, or that offer a transfer program of not less than two years that is acceptable for credit towards a bachelor’s degree, and receive federal financial assistance to disclose semiannually to the U.S. Department of Education any gifts received from and contracts with a foreign source that, alone or combined, are valued at $250,000 or more in a calendar year.
