Restricted Party Screenings
The United States federal government prohibits US persons from engaging in activities or financial transactions with individuals or entities that have been determined to be acting contrary to the national security and/or foreign policy interests of the United States. These are known as “restricted parties.”
Various U.S. government agencies maintain and enforce lists of these restricted or denied parties, including the Department of Commerce, Department of State, Department of Treasury, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security, and others. If an individual or entity is found on one of these lists, the University may be legally prohibited from engaging in business or offering services to them.
