The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents voted to end its contract with the Qatar Foundation, leading to the closure of its branch campus in Qatar over the next four years. The decision was influenced by concerns about instability in the Middle East and allegations of national security threats related to the partnership. The university has denied these accusations, stating that no nuclear engineering program or national security research is conducted at the Qatar campus. The campus, which opened in 2003, aimed to enhance engineering education and research in the Middle East. Operations were funded by the Qatar Foundation, and the university is now tasked with ensuring students can complete their education and fulfilling research obligations.
