  • The University of Delaware (UD) reached a settlement agreement with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) after allegedly failing to disclose a professor's ties to the Chinese government in violation of federal law.

The article from MSN discusses a case involving a professor at the University of Florida, Lin Yang, who was indicted for failing to disclose his affiliations with Chinese government entities while receiving federal research funds. The U.S. Department of Justice alleges that Yang did not report his participation in China's talent recruitment programs, which are designed to attract foreign experts to China, potentially compromising U.S. research integrity. This lack of disclosure occurred while Yang was involved in projects funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The case highlights concerns over foreign influence in American academic research, particularly from China, and the potential risks to national security and intellectual property. The university has stated that it cooperates with investigations but cannot comment on specifics due to the ongoing legal proceedings.
