Alfred University is under congressional scrutiny for its hypersonic missile research funded by federal grants, due to its partnership with the China University of Geosciences and the presence of a Confucius Institute. Representative Mike Gallagher has expressed concerns to the Pentagon regarding the awarding of contracts to the university, which is set to receive $13.5 million for research despite a prohibition on funding institutions with Confucius Institutes. The Pentagon has indicated it will address these concerns, while Alfred University has previously received over $540,000 in grants from the Chinese government.
