Four years after landmark reports by the Trump Department of Education and the Clarion Project revealed billions of dollars in foreign money were flowing into American universities — much of it from hostile powers such as China — a new study from the National Association of Scholars (NAS) revealed that the “flow of foreign money from adversarial countries into our universities” has continued.
The NAS report, entitled Shadows of Influence: Uncovering Hidden Foreign Funds to American Universities, suggests that huge amounts of undisclosed foreign funding might be one reason for the shockingly large pro-Hamas movement that erupted on American campuses after the October 7 atrocity.
“When American college students stump for foreign terrorist organizations and authoritarian governments, we must wonder where and how they receive such propaganda. The hundreds of millions spent by Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iran, China, and Russia are a good place to begin the search,” NAS said.
Report author Neetu Arnold pointed to heavy funding from Qatar as a “focal point behind the spread of pro-Hamas propaganda on American higher education campuses.”
Arnold first warned in 2022 that Qatar’s financial investments in American universities “led to compromises on freedom of expression to appease Qatar’s authoritarian government.” The Qataris are bitter foes of Israel and major backers of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) anti-Israel movement.
Parents, keep your children out of college. There are plenty of good well paying trade jobs all over the country for people willing to actually do physical labor instead of sitting in front of a computer screen all day faking work, like what is being done in our wicomico county government building in Salisbury
Melania Trump disclosed this weekend that Universities wouldn’t except her donations to help foster children get scholarships disgraceful.
I would have to say that most if not all left wing universities do not want to have any association with the Trump name.
