Qatar and China Are Pouring Billions Into Elite American Universities
Foreign countries such as China and Qatar have poured $29 billion into campuses over the past few years. ‘Hostile powers are buying influence on American campuses at an industrial scale.’
Foreign countries such as China and Qatar have poured $29 billion into campuses over the past few years. ‘Hostile powers are buying influence on American campuses at an industrial scale.’
Foreign donors have given as much to U.S. universities in the last four years as they did in the previous 40, according to a new report by the Network Contagion Research Institute shared exclusively with The Free Press. The study shows an explosion in overseas funding for American schools between 2021 and 2024, with nearly $29 billion in foreign money donated during that period.
Qatar and China are among the largest sources of funding.
That $29 billion figure is more than double the total for the preceding four years, and accounts for half of the estimated $57.97 billion in foreign funding since 1986, when the federal government began tracking the data.
Any ideas as to why? Do they just:
1. They just enjoy educating children? They just love children. especially American ones.
2. They enjoy spending money? Who doesn't?
3. They are responding to robo calls for money from these universities to solicit money from them, as if they were from Nigeria or something? But even Grandpa is more savvy.
Any other reasons anyone can think of?
