A recent report from the Clarion Project shows a huge amount of foreign funding that comes from countries like China, Qatar, and Russia. Six prominent U.S. universities failed to report a combined total of 1.3 billion in foreign funding, according to the Department of Education (DOE).
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 (a huge donor to the Clinton Library Fund) 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.
The universities under review include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Texas A&M, Cornell, the University of Maryland, Georgetown (Bill Clinton's alma mater), 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.

The chair of Harvard Universitys chemistry department was charged in a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday on allegations that he did not disclose Chinese government funding he received, in an escalation of U.S. efforts to counter what officials describe as Beijings aggressive recruitment at U.S. universities.
The professor, Charles Lieber, allegedly lied to the Defense Department and the National Institutes of Health about his participation in Chinas Thousand Talents Plan, the complaint said.
U.S. authorities have raised alarms in particular about the so-called talent programs run by the Chinese government, which officials say create conflicts of interest and offer incentives to bring intellectual property back to China.

GOOD QUESTION——Wonder how much of our own tax $ were used to make these elites richer?
“Why does the government fund any of this when these colleges are swimming in endowment money? Are these more quid pro quo funds getting kick backed to politicians?”
You probably answered your own question.
The deep state is probably as big in this mess like every mess we keeping finding out about.
No!
Close them down, but the only ones who should be paid back on the student loans are the taxpayers!
Betsy De Vos and he husband are multi-billionaires. When shes traveling on government business, she flys on a private jet, stays a 5-Star hotels, and eats at 5-Star restaurants.
She doesnt violate any laws or rules related to government travel because she and her husband do not submit claims. They pay for her travel out of her own pocket.
Why does the government fund any of this when these colleges are swimming in endowment money?
