Prestigious American universities including Cornell, Harvard, and MIT raked in $13 billion in ‘undocumented contributions’ from Middle East and other foreign donors.
NY Post (h/t Marvin W) Over 200 US universities including elite institutions Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been accused of raking in $13 billion in “undocumented contributions from foreign governments,” according to a new report.
The report also notes growing incidents of antisemitism on campuses during the 2014-2019 period during the donations — which have since come to a head. Since the Oct. 7th Hamas terror attack on Israel, and the Jewish state’s retaliatory strikes on Gaza, there have been a growing number of appauling instances of antisemitism on college campuses.
Some of the disturbing incidents include Pro-Palestinian students surrounding a Jewish peer on campus at Harvard during a demonstration and a Cornell professor who said he found the attack by Hamas “exhilarating” and “energizing.”
A Cornell student was arrested recently for allegedly making antisemitic threats and numerous colleges have reported swastikas and anti-Jewish propaganda, racist emails and threats made against Jewish students prompting increased security and police patrols.
A sizable portion of the funds were said to be donated from authoritarian regimes around the globe including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China and the UAE, the report from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) claimed.
The huge windfall of cited money was not recorded with the US Department of Education between 2014 and 2019, the NCRI said.
Carnegie Mellon University received the most from foreign entities in that time span at $1.47 billion while Cornell University scooped up $1.29 billion, Harvard University notched $894 million and MIT collected $859 million, according to the report.
Qatar donors easily contributed the most to institutions, at $2.7 billion, though England was second on the list and provided $1.4 billion. About $1.2 billion flowed from China and another $1.1 billion came from Saudi Arabia, per the report. The UAE reportedly contributed $431 million.
The authors of the report state in in its conclusion it: “Raises the sobering possibility that international actors are using undisclosed channels to funnel large amounts of money into college campuses (including elite institutions that often have outsized influence on American culture and politics) for purposes harmful to the democratic norms of pluralism, tolerance, and freedom.”
Cornell University in a statement noted it has received funding – more than $1.3 billion since 2012 – to operate a medical school in Qatar which has graduated more than 500 students from the Middle East, Asia and other places, including the US.
In 2019, ACF released a report that referred to Columbia University and its sister school, Barnard College, in New York City as “a hotbed for hate,” documenting “systemic antisemitism and an ingrained delegitimization of Israel” at the schools.
“We are proud of this collaboration that is helping to train much needed doctors to support patient care, biomedical research and overall quality of life. The remaining funding received supports medical and scientific research,” said Joel Malina, the vice president for university relations.
The report cited more than 100 incidents “that have contributed to a hostile climate” at the colleges since the 2016-17 academic year and included “antisemitic expressions, incidents targeting Jewish students and staff, and BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) activity.” The report recorded how the work of Columbia faculty members has allegedly targeted Jewish and Zionist students.
Anti-Semitism on college campuses and the failure of university leaders to address it is a major “scandal” in higher education, Ralph Avi Goldwasser says. He wants others to be aware of it and a new film he created allows an inside look at the problem.
In November, Goldwasser and Americans for Peace and Tolerance released a documentary called “Hate Spaces: The Politics Of Intolerance On Campus,” a feature-length film spotlighting anti-Semitism on America’s college campuses.
“These campuses are arguably the most prominent settings for university-based antisemitism in the United States,” the 2019 report said.
Overall, 203 colleges were alleged to have illegally withheld information on millions of dollars they recieved from the federal government, who in 2020 tightened up teior practices and required schools to report all funding streams, according to the study.
While some of the countries are authoritarian, other countries like Canada, Japan, Germany, India and Switzerland also included on the list of foreign entities to pump money into the US college system.
The report contends there has “clearly has been an erosion of democratic norms on campuses,” and that “a massive influx of foreign, concealed donations to American institutions of higher learning, much of it from authoritarian regimes with notable support from Middle Eastern sources, reflects or supports heightened levels of intolerance towards Jews, open inquiry and free expression.”

You might also want to know which M.E. countries created and financed Common Core in an effort to dumb-down U.S. students (It worked). That would be none other than: Qatar, Libya and Saudi Arabia. Just think of how many teacher union hacks they greased.

Absolutely NO fuckin’ surprises here; anywhere in the West Muzzies make up a significant political bloc, a corrupt Islamofascist dictatorship will always pop up out of the woodwork to fund them in any way, shape, or form.
By this very definition, these colleges accepting this blood-soaked money are essentially terror cells (and we 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 need to regard them as such.) The VERY LEAST that could be done is for this to be treated as a federal crime, since these colleges have basically admitted to treason. But again, I’m not the very 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 surprised this was allowed to happen because it’s not like our once respected institutions of higher education are nothing more than Cultural Marxism factories churning out anti-Western “students” who will no doubt go out into the real world to vote and hold high positions in the corporate or political sectors one day.
We need to defund all these universities not simply on account of their hatred for our values, but they’re 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 receiving money from our sworn enemies.
The Tasmanian Devil says
Wow, I am just SHOCKED that Mooslamics would fund hate and terror wherever they can, and I am even more shocked that American ‘schools’ would take the cash. Who would have thought?
Colleges and universities have been undermining the United states for decades, soliciting and taking cash from the dirtiest sources and donors and expecting it to stop absent legislation compelling them to stop is foolishness.
But WAIT! The very people who COULD make it stop (Congress), not only have THEIR palms outstretched and greased by these same greaseballs, many of them now ARE Muslim greaseballs!
The end.

well that explains how and why Obama got where he went on who’s dime and then sealed his back tracts
Reader says
Who cares if you are a traitor to America? Who cares if you support violent antisemitism? As long as you get lots of money for it! That’s the f*cking attitude among many these days.
I’d hate to see the response if another 9/11 happened. I suspect it would completely bifurcate the USA, with many in the major metropolises (along with those in academia) claiming it was justified particularly among many of the “new” Americans and the indoctrinated youth.
Wazzup says
Shows how much under Obama your country has gone from bad to worse, would be nice to get a printout of who is funding these anti Semitic anti US Unis etc, besides Sorearse

I think you could probably find it online.

VMS says
The Cali governor ordered all the streets in SanFran cleaned, and the whole place spruced up for Xi’s visit. Before the visit, no one seemed to care that it looked like a dump.
