So the Dept of Ed sent letters to 8 schools including Harvard and Yale. I wonder why was UT the headline of the subject?
Oops. We simply accidentally forgot to report $6.5 billion in foreign funding, as required by federal law. Just a little mistake here, sorry guys.
Stat the 6.5 billion was all the universities. not just UT Still should not have happened. I wonder how much Texas " forgot" to disclose?
and that came from CHINA....FENVES at work...quite the ***** with OUR information and research ...good riddance...
UT: Hey, Look At This Sweet Communist Chinese Money! Ted Cruz: DON’T EVEN! UT: « Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog

If the regents investigated the Powers and Fenves eras at UT, I bet this is all just the tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately the people in this state do not believe in oversight and the regents do not do their jobs. Of course one regent tried to do his job, and UT (with the help of corrupt state legislators) ran a successful smear campaign against him. I cannot believe people actually believed that Wallace Hall, a UT graduate, was "an aggy sent by Rick Perry to attack UT". When a regent was threatened with impeachment for trying to do his job and provide oversight of the university, we signaled as a state that the UT administrators could do whatever they wanted. I think Powers was smarter than Fenves, or at least Powers had legal training. An investigation would have a far easier time tying things to Fenves than Powers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_L._Hall_Jr.
77, The University of Texas adheres to the Baptist doctrine of investigation - "Nothing is wrong, it's just not as right as we'd like for it to be". The best money tracker the FBI ever had used to tease me by saying, "Why is it that the school with the nation's best accounting program can't find follow the money trail if you pin a map on their nose" No one found it strange when we had a president from an out of state school, and a large number of administrative types were suddenly from the same school. (Student housing, student financial services, etc). Possible corruption in our administrations is nothing new and goes back decades, at least back until we had a University of Texas Ex as governor.
Yep. Even if Perry was a throbbing tool, Hall was a decent guy trying to do what every regent should be doing.
