A case against Pen State was unsealed in 2023. In the case a whistleblower alleges the university submitted false certifications concerning NIST 800-171 compliance to the DoD.
In general one wonders how academic institutions and defense contractor fair under DFARS 252.204-7012 for the protection of CUI, as cases are unsealed and whistleblowers come forward to raise compliance concerns. There’s a cautionary tail for board of all covered entities, whistleblowers should not be ignored and concerns should be accounted for. As it could be a ‘nice little earner’.
