Feds say US colleges 'massively' underreport foreign funding
Since coming under federal scrutiny, the 12 schools disclosed a combined $6.5 billion in foreign funding that was previously unreported, the department said. Yale said it failed to submit foreign funding reports for the years 2014 to 2017 but later corrected the omission. It's not unusual for U.S. colleges to accept foreign funding for research projects or exchange programs, but federal reporting requirements have long been treated as an honor system. That began to change last year, however, after a bipartisan report in Congress raised alarms about colleges’ ties with China. In response to that finding, DeVos began ordering broader investigations into universities' foreign funding.

chicagotribune.comEPA ignores health benefits of coal rule it plans to weaken: economists
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposal to weaken a rule on coal plant pollution fails to consider billions of dollars in health benefits for Americans, economists from universities including Harvard and Yale said on Wednesday. REUTERS/Brian SnyderThe six economists said the proposal to change the rule on mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants ignores an Obama-era estimate that it would slash U.S. healthcare bills by $33 billion to $90 billion per year. The EPAs Science Advisory Board unanimously dissolved the economics committee last year, after the Trump administration reduced the number of academic scientists on the board. The Obama administration had estimated that the mercury rule would cost utilities up to $9.6 billion annually but that would be outweighed by the cuts in healthcare bills. The EPA under Trump estimated that the rule would only save up to $6 million annually because it removed the benefits from cuts in fine particulates.

feeds.reuters.comHow college financial aid scams impact low-income students: 'There's only so much to go around'
Their children then declare themselves financially independent, allowing them to qualify for need-based state, federal and university financial aid for which they would not otherwise be eligible. Students qualified for federal Pell Grants and state Pell Grants, known in Illinois as the Monetary Award Program (MAP). He stresses that while families may think they've identified a harmless hack, the practice has a direct impact on low-income students. Because federal and state Pell Grants are distributed on a first-come first-served basis, many low-income students don't receive the funds they qualify for. According to ProPublica, last year about 82,000 qualifying Illinois students did not get their $5,000 MAP grant for this reason.
