The Department of Education (DoED) is conducting an investigation into foreign governments funding U.S. universities, and they have found that governments such as Russia, China and Qatar have given them a staggering $1.3 billion.
These are the preliminary findings in an ongoing investigation into six different universities, and Education Secretary Betsy Devos believes that much more money could be discovered before the investigation concludes.
“It is already a reporting requirement for schools to report all foreign contributions. From my perspective, it’s a simple requirement: Report all foreign money you get.” DeVos told the Washington Examiner.
“We’re going to continue to raise the flag on this, and we think, just given what we’ve seen scratching the surface, there’s a lot there that has gone undetected,” she added.
Devos believes that this is an urgent national security issue that must be addressed and resolved.
“We’re raising this issue and letting schools know that we’re going to be paying attention in ways that hasn’t happened before,” she said.
The universities under review include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Texas A&M, Cornell, the University of Maryland, Georgetown, and Rutgers. Acting general counsel Reed Rubinstein called the initial findings very “disturbing” in a letter to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, the Education Department.

Foreign interference in our education system.
No wonder our kids are being ruined. I also think we need to cut way back on the amount of foreign students at least until we get our universities back to normal where they actually teach students instead of indoctrinating them.
This has given our foreign enemies the ability to fund their own interests and use universities as a base to infiltrate, subvert and plan their destruction of this country from within. This needs to be investigated and immediately stopped
Are those institutions registered as foreign lobbyists? I heard somewhere that is something in a law thingy?
Nothing new though. Been in full gear since 1994.
When I was a student at UMKC back in 1975 the enemies of the Shah were handing out leaflets on campus. This garbage has been goin on for years.

The writer attributed a money total to a few nations. The article also did not say what the money was for.
In many if not most instances, the money paid for tuition for students sent here to be educated at the best universities in the world.
