‘Ongoing investigation’ regardless of what university claims
Following an October report by the U.S. Department of Education that questioned Georgetown University’s financial ties to foreign governments and reporting of contributions from overseas donors, the school claimed the department had told them it “anticipated closing the matter” and “will not be conducting further investigations.”
Further, a Georgetown spokesperson told a campus reporter in November the Education Department report contained “mischaracterizations, inaccuracies and misunderstandings.”
Not so fast, says the department.
In an email Monday to The College Fix, a spokesperson for the Education Department declined to comment on the school’s specific claims, but characterized its probe into Georgetown and other schools as an “ongoing investigation.”
