Congress wrote to the nation’s top universities on Monday demanding they hand over all records of donations they have accepted from foreign governments and rogue regimes, citing concerns that the multimillion-dollar gifts are a growing national security threat, The Post can reveal.

The letters obtained by The Post were sent to the presidents of six of the country’s leading colleges — including Harvard, NYU and Yale — after a Department of Education investigation this year found American universities had accepted $6.4 billion of hidden foreign donations.

The University of Chicago, the University of Delaware, Harvard University, New York University, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University now have one week to produce all unredacted records of gifts, contracts and agreements with foreign governments since January 2015.

The letters were sent by Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Virginia Foxx (R-NC) and James Comer (R-Ky.), the ranking members of the powerful House Judiciary, House Oversight and Reform and House Education and Labor committees, respectively.

The colleges could not be immediately reached for comment Monday.

Lawmakers said they were troubled by the fact that governments like Qatar classified their donations to US colleges as “trade secrets” — banning the recipient from disclosing the nature or sum of the gift, as required by US law.

Who needs foreign gifts? Billions in tuition from foreign students is where their real bread and butter comes from.

[EEGator]

Then the corporations get H1-B slaves to take our jobs and maximize their profits.

[Bayard]

Lets be honest, they want their bread layered with butter of every kind. Its not like they don’t make money on their rediculously high tuition already to cover education. Universities are liberal indoctrination centers and probably campaign laundering operations now.

Nice! Next do Congress!

BIDEN’s CHINA SCAM——Biden Center Under Investigation for Illegal Donations From China
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon
FR Posted on 5/25/2020, 9:19:56 AM by EyesOfTX

If the label says “Biden,” it was definitely influenced by China. – John Solomon at JustTheNews.com is reporting that The National Legal and Policy Center has asked the U.S. Department of Education to investigate its findings that the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) has over the past several years accepted more than $22 million in anonymous China-originated donations to its Biden Center and failed to properly disclose the contributions.

From Solomon’s report:

The complaint, filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, says that over the past three years, the university has accepted around $22 million in anonymous funding from Chinese sources. That’s out of a total of more than $70 million from Chinese donors during that time, the NLPC said.

Those significant funds, including the anonymous amounts, rolled in after the Biden Center was announced in early 2017 and launched in February 2018. The center is located in downtown Washington, D.C.

Federal records show that the University of Pennsylvania has received significant donations from China since the opening of the center. One 2018 donation alone totals $14.5 million; it is listed as “anonymous” in federal records.

The NLPC alleges the university may have violated federal law in accepting those anonymous monetary donations. The Higher Education Act mandates schools report the national origins of any donations above $250,000 although not necessarily the individual names of donors themselves.

This serves as just one more reminder that Biden, his son and his brother have long been in the pockets of Chinese interests. The stark reality facing our country today is that, should Biden manage to win the election in November, all of the gains President Donald Trump has made through the sheer force of his will in terms of U.S./China relations and trade policy will be immediately reversed the day after Biden assumes office.

If you like the fact that virtually all U.S. antibiotics and PPE are sourced through China at some point along their supply chains and want it to stay that way, vote for Biden. Because that would be a fait accompli should he win. There are trillions of dollars at stake, and Creepy Uncle Quid Pro China Joe wants to ensure his family continues to get its fair share.

The stench of panic pandering is strong in this one. – How would you like to be Symone Sanders, the African American hack who serves as racist Joe Biden’s press spokesperson?

Sanders has spent the last few days desperately trying to clean up the pile of doggie-do the nation’s Unfrozen Caveman Presumptive Nominee left on the floor on Saturday, when he told a clearly-Black radio host “you ain’t black” if he has a hard time decided whether to vote for Biden or President Trump this November.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “Politics DC” show hosted by venerable old race-baiter Al Sharpton on Sunday, Ms. Sanders blurted out this bit of obvious panic pandering, as reported at Breitbart News:

“Vice President Biden has committed to making sure that we are underscoring not just the civil rights division and the Department of Justice, the civil rights division across his administration,” Sanders told MSNBC “PoliticsNation” host Al Sharpton. “He is committed to putting judges on the bench that reflect the community, taking a hard look, and making sure that they are African-American judges on the bench, qualified judges on the bench. He has committed to putting a black woman on the Supreme Court.”

So now, in addition to having the standard Democrat Party litmus test of having to be pro-abortion on demand and even after birth, Sanders says Biden will add the litmus tests of being a woman and African American to his list of pre-qualifications when considering his first nominee to the Supreme Court. This kind of rank discrimination is so despicable and anti-American that it is hard to put into words. It takes panic pandering to an entirely new level.

But this is Joe Biden, and this is what you can expect if you vote for him in November.

Think carefully before going into that voting booth, folks.

That is all.

Bill Clinton's alma mater----Georgetown University-----received huge donations from Mid-East countries.

NOTE: Ex-Pres Clinton made a special trip to Qatar panhandling for donations. Qatar is a big league donor

Then-Secretary of State Clinton is all smiles as she meets with Billionaire
Qatari Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, 21 Sept 2010

REFERENCE: In Nov 2016, Reuters reported that "The Clinton Foundation has confirmed it accepted a $1 million gift from Qatar while Hillary Clinton was US Secretary of State without informing the State Department, even though she had promised to let the agency review new or significantly increased support from foreign governments."

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin opined that the Qatari gift "raised ethical questions" because of the nation's support for Hamas.

=====================================

“Qatar Papers”, a book published last April by two French investigative journalists Christian Chesnot et Georges Malbrunot , revealed that the charity organisations receiving Qatari donations were all controlled by members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Then-pres and Obama and SofS Hillary held Qatar in great regard....increasing their arms deals by 1400%.

Hillary the Arms Dealer
Canada Free Press | 05/27/15 | Matthew Vadum / FR Posted by Sean_Anthony
Clinton Foundation donations funded State Dept approval of arms shipments to repressive governments. During the time Hillary Clinton was America’s Secy of State, she oversaw approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations.....governments that forked over millions of dollars to the now-embattled Clinton Foundation. According to an International Business Times report by David Sirota and Andrew Perez, “at least seven foreign governments that received State Department clearance for American arms did donate to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary.” The article identified the seven nations as Algeria, Australia, Kuwait, Norway, Oman, Qatar, and Thailand.

Mainstream media’s surprisingly probing coverage of the unfolding Clinton Foundation donations-for-favors scandal suggests that reporters have turned on the Clintons in the age of Obama. And the fact that the IBT piece was co-authored by Marxist author and radio talk show host David Sirota adds to the growing pile of evidence that some of the more ideologically pure progressives in the Democratic Party are ganging up on Mrs. Clinton in order to help as yet undeclared presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).(Excerpt) Read more at canadafreepress.com ...

Even 40 years ago, we knew that China was spying like crazy (to the point of making copies of our calendars). So better late than never, I guess.

The missing word here is ‘subpoena’.

‘Asking’ or ‘demanding’ will get absolutely nowhere.

This should have been done decades ago... It's as bad today as it would have been during World War II if our universities had been taking money from Hitler.

[PGalt]

Great posts in a great thread. Thanks. BUMP!

[Susquehanna Patriot]

Plus borrowed billions from Americans to study irrelevant and unemployable subjects who eventually clamor for politicians to excuse their debt and vote for only one political party. The universities have no risk in the failure of any student, and set up a department to go after those who have been successful for raising even more money, using emotional appeals and other perks to get them “give back” despite the exorbitant tuition they already paid.

[Cobra64]

Well, I have said for decades that every Congressman should undergo extensive background checks before being sworn in, given a test on the Constitution, and continued, random, impromptu drug testing while in office.

There are a whole bunch of brain addled Moonbats like Maxine Waters who would be in jail and others a national laughing stock like the dipshit who said Guam would tip over.

Biden went to Syracuse and U Delaware. What is his connection to Penn that he is involved with a satellite UPenn presence in our nation’s capitol?

Following the lead of President Trump? Yeah, that'll work out for the Demwits in Congress.

[HangnJudge]

Good, same true of donations to congress critters and PACs. Make illegal to directly or indirectly receive donations from foreign sources. Same true of major news organs, lobbyists (except clearly marked foreign lobbyist) and organizations receiving federal funds.
