US Universities Face Funding Cuts for Failing to Address Antisemitism and Islamophobia
TL;DR Summary
Over 200 US universities, including prestigious institutions such as Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Harvard, and MIT, have allegedly received $13 billion in "undocumented contributions from foreign governments," with a significant portion coming from authoritarian regimes like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China, and the UAE. The funds were not recorded with the US Department of Education between 2014 and 2019. Qatar was the largest donor, contributing $2.7 billion, followed by England with $1.4 billion. The report raises concerns about the potential harm to democratic norms and highlights incidents of antisemitism on campuses during the period covered by the donations.
