And that $1 billion finding is “massively incomplete”.

These (most) schools are progressive/leftist/socialist (unAmerican) indoctrination centers. For many decades.

Their bitter fruits permeate America now.

Jail and fibbing to Federal LEO can be a real motivator.

How about funding by the ChiComs/PRC?

There might be a large scale of funding to our universities with STEM and computer wizardry.

The country with the most previously unreported data is China, equaling $144 million from the Communist country across 48 American institutions over the last six years, the project found.

Newly reported income by universities from Saudi Arabia amounts to $70 million, and dates back as far as 2013. Some of the data from Turkey is just as old, with $8.5 million initially left hanging across half a dozen U.S. universities. MORE: U.S. finally investigating secret foreign funding of universities

... Three universities failed to report a total of $117 million in income from Qatar. (Most of that figure is made up of funds Georgetown and Texas A&M University failed to report and are already under investigation by the federal government.)

... Years-late report of funds from ‘Confucius Institute Headquarters’

A federal law known as Section 117 requires colleges and universities to disclose all foreign incomes over $250,000 every six months. The Department of Education then releases it to the public. The University of Delaware and Xavier University in Louisiana, for example, “never reported” their foreign income to the feds until the most recent data collection cycle, the report said.

MORE: 2 in 3 colleges with Confucius Institutes violated the law Xavier isn’t the only offender in omitting years’ worth of income related to its Confucius Institutes. Several schools took six years and multiple federal investigations to turn over such information. The University of Kentucky, for example, waited until the latest collecting period to disclose $2.6 million it received from Hanban, the Chinese agency in charge of the institutes, all of which was collected between 2013 and 2016.

The College of William & Mary also waited until the most recent period to report more than $714,000 in gifts from Hanban from 2013 and on.

San Diego State University finally reported $3.8 million from Hanban spanning six years as well. It did not respond to multiple inquiries throughout the week of April 20. Identified as a threat by U.S. officials, the Chinese telecommunications company Huawei is known to dish out cash at American schools.

...

But it is not always mere money for tuition that is being wired to American campuses from overseas. Northwestern University, which has a satellite campus in Qatar, has received millions from that country. MORE: Harvard and Yale under federal investigation for funding requests

It set up a journalism program at its satellite campus, in conjunction with the government-owned news outlet Al Jazeera, that encourages student journalists to intern and collaborate alongside state-run media editors and reporters.

Qatar has spared no expense in its funding of American higher ed. Between 2011 and 2016, Qatar was the top funder of U.S. universities, forking about $1 billion in gifts to American academia, according to reporting from June 2019 by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

... In February, the feds dished out another pair of investigations into Harvard and Yale for failing to report hundreds of millions of dollars. The Department of Education also announced it uncovered $6.5 billion in previously omitted assets across 10 universities.

The Department of Education is scheduled to release its next biannual report on foreign income received by American colleges and universities in August.
