REPORT: 200+ Universities Rake In $13 Billion in ‘Undocumented Contributions’ From Foreign Governments
Clear Facts
- Over 200 US universities received approximately $13 billion in “undocumented contributions from foreign governments” between 2014 and 2019.
- The most significant sum of undocumented funding, $2.7 billion, came from Qatar.
- The foreign funding correlated with an increase in political campaigns that aimed to censor academics and a spike in anti-Semitic rhetoric on school campuses.
More than 200 United States universities received approximately $13 billion in “undocumented contributions from foreign governments” between 2014 and 2019, according to a report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI).
The report, titled “The Corruption of the American Mind: How Concealed Foreign Funding of U.S. Higher Education Predicts Erosion of Democratic Values and Antisemitic Incidents on Campus,” revealed that many of these contributions came from authoritarian regimes.
The NCRI used publicly available information to analyze the funding and its correlation with the erosion of liberal democratic norms, including free speech, academic freedom, and the rise of antisemitism on campus.
The report found that the largest sum of undocumented funding, $2.7 billion, came from Qatar. Other significant contributors included England with $1.4 billion, China with $1.2 billion, and Saudi Arabia with $1.1 billion.
Among the US institutions that received the largest amounts of funding were Carnegie Mellon University with $1.47 billion, Cornell University with $1.29 billion, Harvard University with $894 million, and MIT with $859 million, as claimed by the report.
The NCRI argued that the influx of foreign funding correlated with an increase in political campaigns seeking to censor academics and a rise in anti-Semitic rhetoric on school campuses.
The report stated, “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.”
The correlation between the funds and anti-Semitism was found to be stronger when the undocumented donors were Middle Eastern regimes.
Cornell University, one of the mentioned institutions, responded to the report by stating that it has received over $1.3 billion since 2012 to operate a medical school in Qatar. The university emphasized the collaboration’s positive impact on training doctors and supporting patient care, biomedical research, and overall quality of life.
The other schools mentioned in the report did not provide a comment when approached by the New York Post.
The NCRI’s report raises concerns about the influence of foreign funding on US universities and its potential impact on democratic values, free speech, and academic freedom.
Clear Thoughts
The report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) exposes the shocking truth about the massive influx of “undocumented contributions from foreign governments” into over 200 US universities, totaling a staggering $13 billion between 2014 and 2019.
Qatar, an authoritarian regime, leads the pack with $2.7 billion in funding, followed by England, China, and Saudi Arabia.
This influx of foreign money coincides with a rise in campaigns to censor academics and an alarming increase in anti-Semitic rhetoric on school campuses.
It is clear that these concealed donations are eroding democratic values and stifling free expression.
The influence of foreign funding on American universities must be addressed to protect our cherished academic freedom.

Department of Education was originally designed to over see the on goings of the educational system. Although the Department is a relative newcomer among Cabinet-level agencies, its origins goes back to 1867, when President Andrew Johnson signed legislation creating the first Department of Education. Its main purpose was to collect information and statistics about the nation’s schools.
Who is in charge of the US Department of Education?
Miguel Angel Cardona (born July 11, 1975) is an American educator and is currently serving as the twelfth United States secretary of education under President Joe Biden since 2021. If you wonder why the schools have got to hell. They are staking the deck and not watching the hen house but thats been irever, otherwise we wouldnt have anti Americans and reprobates running the asylum’s.
Arne Starkey Duncan (born November 6, 1964) is an American educator who served as United States Secretary of Education from 2009 to 2015 and as Chief Executive Officer of Chicago Public Schools from 2001 to 2008.

So if you received a few million dollars from someone who told you that it’s free with a few strings attached. When we need your help with the organization of your student body at a later date. These donors begin to do online and on-campus propaganda drives to indoctrinate students with Islamic teachings that border on subversion. It goes hand and hand with the Marxist-Leninist subversion teaching that is being instilled in every classroom. The outside influence becomes greater and greater until you no longer have authority over the campus teachings or the lifeblood of the campus!

Growing antisemitism, pro jihadi (violent jihadi – jihad being about some tactic/strategy of war 97% of the time it is talked about in islamic texts and infiltration, spreading propaganda/lies, acting like victims, etc) are very much a tactic of jihad/war. All of these countries are not our friends, or allies. Tricking us into thinking they are is our folly.

Shut them down if they refuse to provide information on the “foreign donations”. Remove their charters and no government money should go these traitors. these students are being brainwashed anyway by Socialist and Marxist ideas.

“professors”, totally! Where is our government? Oh yeah, it’s under control of the Biden crime family…oh well.

They tout the donations as helping biomedical research, but that is just lip-service because they silenced true science. It’s a money-laundering scheme.
