On Sunday, June 8th, The New York Times published a lengthy article based on Senator Charles Grassely's recent Senate floor speech regarding his investigation into financial disclosure practices at research universities. Grassely is spearheading several possible legislative proposals impacting higher education business practices, including endowment operations, financial disclosure, and the federal False Claims Act.
