FBI agents executed search warrants last week at two homes owned by Indiana University computer science professor XiaoFeng Wang and his IU libraries analyst wife, authorities said, as questions swirled over their status at the school on Monday.
Wang, who has researched cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity, had his online profile removed by Indiana University’s Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering.
His wife, Nianli Ma, likewise had her profile removed from Indiana University’s libraries division.
An Indiana University spokesman responded to questions from CNBC Monday about the couple’s employment status with, “I’ll refer you to the FBI for any information.”
An FBI spokeswoman said, “I can confirm the FBI executed federal search warrants at homes in Carmel and Bloomington Friday.”

“We have no further comment at this time,” the spokeswoman said.
Wang, who has been at Indiana U. for two decades, has been the associate dean for research at the Luddy School, according to an archived profile page.
That page notes that his work has been funded by multiple federal agencies and that he has been the principal investigator for research projects totaling nearly $23 million.
No mention of their citizenship status. It's hard NOT to profile when stuff like this is popping up just about every day lately.

No ChiCom should be anywhere near American universities, much less as a professor.

Guilty.
If an American did the same thing in China they would be jailed immediately.

The school fired him the same day as the raids
All indicators point to them having decisive evidence he is guilty of spying. Hang him by his nuts.
No university would fire a professor immediately without there being a mountain of guilty evidence.

It would depend on whether he was tenured, adjutant faculty, etc.
But someone who is bringing in those kind of grants getting canned by a Big Ten consortium school is very interesting.

“specializing on security issues relating to mobile and cloud computing, and human genomic data“
Definitely a Chinese spy.
Even if not tenured, there’s no way they are instantly firing a professor whose been there for 20 years without hard proof he’s guilty

Indiana University’s Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering does a lot of work at NSWC Crane Division in Crane, Indiana.
Needless to say but there is a lot of sensitive projects that are supported by NSWC Crane. It's not good if these folks were involved.

American Universities and the flood of Internationals onto our campuses have long been a back door to undermine us and hide in plain sight.

Something tells me it's not cybersecurity professor here that's important.

If an American did this in China, Russia, Iran or NoKo, they wouldn't make it to the jail.

They're everywhere in STEM oriented departments now.
