The US Department of Justice is probing Harvard University over financial aid programs, according to reports.
The US Justice Department launched an investigation on Monday to review whether some Harvard financial aid programs are discriminatory.
This investigation is the latest fight against Harvard by Donald Trump's administration.
The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division announced a compliance review into Harvard to determine whether its China-based financial aid programs and practices exclude American-citizen students.

The investigation has expanded to determine if Harvard allowed Chinese donors to create scholarships that specifically exclude American students. Federal authorities are examining whether these China-based financial aid programs violate the Civil Rights Act by allegedly excluding U.S. citizens from certain funding opportunities.
