Jesuit Fordham Playing Footsie With ChiComs?

So far, it's largely allegation.  But, ya'know, they're Jesuits.

The attorney for Austin Tong, a Chinese immigrant student punished by Fordham University, recently alleged that the university has ties to the Chinese Communist Party that the institution wants to hide.

He argued that it is why the school wants to avoid discovery in the lawsuit it faces for its punishment of Tong.

Tong, a Chinese immigrant, was punished in June for posting a photo of himself holding an AR-15 with the caption “Don’t Tread on Me” and referencing the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

Now, Edward Paltzik, his attorney, alleged that the Catholic college has a relationship with the People’s Republic of China that it wants to hide....

Well, on what basis does Paltzik make THAT sort of claim?

Glad you asked!

...The Department of Education sent a letter in August to Fordham seeking information on a possible discrepancy in foreign funding disclosure.

The DOE separately opened an investigation into the school’s treatment of Tong.

The foreign funding letter said “the Department is concerned that Fordham’s reporting may not fully capture all qualifying gifts, contracts, and/or restricted and conditional gifts or contracts from or with all foreign sources.”...

Vince Lombardi, a Fordham grad, would probably tear the head off any lying sack of crap who was playing footsie with the Chinese Communist Party, Jesuit or not.  That would further his cause for sainthood.
