Harvard University, MIT, and Johns Hopkins University are among 30 American universities ordered to conduct audits of their research relationships with China, according to Pentagon officials. The universities were notified but the Pentagon declined to disclose the foreign partnerships under scrutiny or present evidence of wrongdoing.
