foreign money 'invested' in Universities
Stanley Kurtz loves us.
Foreign cash is often donated to American universities for reasons unknown to us. Stankley Kurtz used Freedom of Information Act requests and "obtained a comprehensive list of gifts originating in foreign countries to American colleges and universities (as reported under Title 20, Section 1011f of the U.S. Code, '
Disclosures of foreign gifts')."
It's a question of academic freedom and integrity. What are curriculum are the kids being taught? The curricula may be shaped by the donors. I have not finished the
relevant article.
Here is
the list. Here is the part of the list that is relevant
to me:
