Xiaofeng Wang, a cybersecurity professor at Indiana University, was fired on the same day that FBI and Department of Homeland Security agents raided his homes, prompting concerns among Asian students about potential political motivations. Previously, Wang had been questioned by the university regarding undisclosed funding from China for a project that also received US federal research grants. His dismissal via email contradicted the university’s own policies, leading to widespread shock in the Bloomington community.
