Why are American colleges and universities radioactive sinkholes of pro-jihad, anti-American propaganda? Here are six and a half billion reasons why.
“Investigation Prompts Schools to Report $6.5 Billion in Undisclosed Foreign Gifts and Contracts,” by Ivan Pentchoukov, Epoch Times, October 20, 2020:
NEW YORK—American Universities failed to report $6.5 billion in foreign gifts and contracts, an investigation by the Department of Education found.
Federal law requires schools to disclose substantial foreign gifts and contracts to the Department of Education (DOE) twice a year. Many have for years failed to do so, while others severely underreported the income. The deluge of the financial disclosures poured in as the department opened investigations into 12 elite universities.
Universities reported receiving a total of more than $19.6 billion in foreign gifts and contracts from 2014 to 2020, including nearly $1.5 billion from China, almost $3.1 billion from Qatar, and more than $1.1 billion from Saudi Arabia, according to historical DOE data and most recent figures posted on its new online reporting portal….
The vast majority of the foreign funds went to America’s largest and most prestigious universities, which have received billions of dollars through a bevy of intermediaries, according to a report released by the DOE on Oct. 20 All of the institutions involved are in the meantime dependent on tens of billions of U.S. taxpayer subsidies while operating largely “divorced from any sense of obligation to our taxpayers or concern for our American national interests, security, or values,” the DOE report states.
For the first half of 2020 alone, U.S. universities retroactively reported $2 billion in foreign gifts and contracts. One school, which isn’t identified in the report, failed to report $760 million in foreign funding. University officials told the DOE they were “dumbfounded” by the reporting error. Another unnamed school failed to report $1.2 billion in foreign gifts and contracts.
Universities have long been on notice that a substantial amount of foreign money is coming from sources hostile to the United States seeking “to project soft power, steal sensitive and proprietary research, and spread propaganda,” the report states….
The department called the failures to report foreign funding “extremely troubling.” Yale University failed to report any foreign gifts and contracts for four years, and Case Western Reserve University for 12 years, “precisely when both were rapidly expanding their foreign operations and relationships—including with China and Iran.” Yale failed to report $375 million in foreign gifts and contracts, according to the report.
In addition to underreporting, some universities have been anonymizing gifts from foreign sources, including more than $1.14 billion in unidentified gifts from China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Russia since 2012….
The vast majority of the foreign gifts and contracts flow to a select group of the biggest and most influential schools, which either severely underreport or fail entirely to disclose the funds. Universities have self-reported $6.6 billion in funds from Qatar, China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and the DOE estimates the true total to be far greater, based on congressional and executive branch probes. A 2019 Senate investigation found the industry’s foreign funding sources to be a “black hole.”…
The report also outlines soft power operations via funding for universities originating in Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

Talk about “Foreign Interference” in U.S. domestic affairs! It’s obvious these institutions taking foreign bribes to indoctrinate US students should be shut down. And pretty darn quick.
David Grisez says
This shows one of the problems with large donations to universities from foreign nations. These foreign nations are using this money to buy power and influence over the universities so that the universities will exert influence over the United States.
jewdog says
This could just be a minor accounting error. I’m sure that those benefactors have absolutely no influence on the students. Anyone who says otherwise is a xenophobe, Islamophobe and racist. The Biden administration, NPR, Facebook and Google etc. will make it all go away. Just be patient.
Naildriver says
LOL, usually sarcasm isn’t so evident.
Those individuals in each university or college, responsible for actions that bestow a kind, protected and propagandized payback to these Islamic sources should be killed as suggested by our constitution for the crime of treason. They have done tremendous damage.

Grimly hilarious, jewdog!
Mount Zion says
It’s no surprise that Universities are breading ground for anti-americanism . With that kind of money from countries who aren’t exactly fond of the US and who don’t necessarily want them to succeed and be prosperous and a leading world power , you as a University have to give something in return and that would be the indoctrination of a hostile attitude towards all the achievements of the US and everything that is nobel and of any value in american history despite well known flaws . Burnings of american flags is just one manifestation of how succesful the pouring of billions of dollars into elite universities has been so far.
Orvill P. Phisnarus says
Now we know how biden can offer free university for all! Its been paid for in advance! Only 1 catch, the university administration and Marxist professors must denounce the US as a evil empire and shovel Marxist philosophy into our young and praise BLM, ANTIFA as ‘fighting the righteous fight for ‘equality’ Sadly the students will learn some are more equal then others.

Universities are leftist breeding ground sponsors of sedition.
Wellington says
American universities in our era, treated in the aggregate, are one of the weakest links in the American Republic. Such universities have worked assiduously on being an enervating factor in pulling down the greatest polity experiment in the history of mankind, i.e., the United States of America. Right now, these farces of so-called higher education are succeeding, and with avarice aplenty adding insult to injury.

Disturbingly true.

+1, Wellington
Walter Sieruk says
Those so called “gifts” from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, we all know or should know, are really bribes to encourage indoctrination of Islam into the heart and minds of American students under the smokescreen of “higher education.”
It’s more that enough proof that this is Islamic bribery is that the heads of those Universities didn’t file an official to be known about those “gifts.”
tgusa says
The rot is so widespread, the treachery so pervasive, the denial so rampant that I despair that there can be no peaceful resolution to all of it. God help us if America were to become embroiled in a global conflict. We would have to eradicate the enemy within before we turned our attention toward the enemy without. American institutions no longer represent the American people. A fistful of dollars is their sustenance and like feral hogs they will gobble up anything that presents itself in front of them.

Just disgusting–but no surprise there.

Saudi or ME money may also go to government officials, hospitals for new wings, mass migration like immigration, news media, lawyers, schools, politicians,banks, hedge funds, real estate,etc. profis from what the dems /left complain about evil oil, but cash in on with diversity candidates, techies while we look the other way, I suspect they find many individuals but mostly organizations they can create or control. We are in deep trouble as it appears the nations security has also been compromised as they have found a way thru hate speech with claims of racism to not investigate the very operatives who want to ” convert or slay the infidels as if it’s type of terror is not connected to the mosques as many are stricken who speak.
Clifford Fodor says
We should have done what Ann Coulter told us to do after 9/11. We should invade their countries, do away with their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. And, may I add, steal all their money and oil. Instead, we invaded Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan and let them remain Muslim. We don’t want to do things the hard was or the right way. We want to do things the easy way and the stupid way.
Vigilant says
If a religion is being forced, then that religion is Not Christianity. Steal all their money and oil, I’m glad that we all do not have your ethics.
Giacomo Latta says
So where are the fines and confiscations that should guarantee that these minor moments of inattention become even more minor?
OLD GUY says
I think the good book says things about the effect of greed and the power it has over people. Once you start spending the enemy’s money it is hard to turn down more money with strings attached.
b.a. freeman says
is anybody actually surprised by this? i’m not, because nazis run these “schools.”
in my estimation, the only degrees granted by these “schools” that are any good are the STEM degrees, because it is difficult – so far (see soviet history) – to bend math and science to the leftist agenda. i must admit, however, given “global warming” and “white supremacists math,” that it is getting easier for leftist liars to propagate their bulls**t.

Universities are a cesspool of indoctrination, anti-America!!
