Elite and prestigious universities in America have long been receiving money at the expense of wealthy foreign nations getting a say in positions and even curricula. This habit is biting Americans back as demands are too much to bear.
China, Russia, and Qatar just to name a few have a long-standing involvement in funding American colleges and swaying young minds to sympathize with their causes. 19 billion dollars have been funneled by these countries to have a foot-hold in classrooms.
Professors have admitted to feeling pressure to say certain things out of fear of reprisal, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo openly said Chinese donations are used for propaganda.
Yes, authoritarian governments are buying your universities. pic.twitter.com/eF7v5Uy0vG
