Indiana University has closed its Muslim Philanthropy Initiative following an investigation into the program’s relationship with an overseas organization sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department.

The university confirmed the initiative partnered on programs with Hayat Yolu in Turkey and Indonesia. IU also said Hayat Yolu reimbursed the initiative’s director for travel expenses, including airfare, lodging, ground transportation and meals.

The closure comes after eight Indiana lawmakers, led by State Rep. Andrew Ireland, sent a letter to the university on March 20 calling for an investigation and increased oversight of the program.

Hayat Yolu has been designated by the U.S. Treasury Department for providing significant material support to Hamas.

In a statement, Ireland praised the university’s decision.

“Indiana University made the right decision by closing the Muslim Philanthropy Initiative,” Ireland said. “A taxpayer-supported university should never lend its name, expertise, or credibility to an organization connected to the financial network of a terrorist group.”

IU has not publicly announced whether any additional actions will be taken as a result of the investigation.
