The little reported corruption racket between Joe Biden and Big Academia: Less sexy than Hunter Biden on drugs in China, but just as compromising

With two major universities naming colleges after him staffed by former Obama-Biden administration cronies and receiving generous donations from anonymous foreign sources, Joe Biden's embrace of Big Academia's money machine has been shielded by their respectability.

This despite neither the Penn Biden Center for the University of Pennsylvania nor the Biden Institute of the University of Delaware providing any evident academic or research function for either of their host universities. While the former vice president is certainly feeling vulnerable due to the attacks on his one surviving son and his inexplicable financial arrangements, it is only one weak point in a long chain of corrupt dealings surrounding him. Remaining largely ignored is the much blander but just as compromising Biden–Big Academia scandal.

This matter is centered on two colleges named after Biden: the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C. and the Biden Institute at the University of Delaware in Newark. The latter unit is also part of the Biden School for Public Policy at U.D.

Many politicians found think-tanks or academic units in order to project their influence on political thought after they leave office or die. An excellent example is the Carter Center in Atlanta, founded in 1982 as a non-profit organization by former president Jimmy Carter and wife Rosalynn in partnership with Emory University. As of 2018, the Carter Center, which has the stated goal of advancing human rights, had net assets totaling $805 million and nine officers and directors with salaries of over $150,000.

Not bad for someone whose one-term presidency was largely known for the Iran hostage crisis and a stagnant economy. Not every politician waits until leaving politics to open a non-profit or think-tank; the McCain Institute was founded in 2012 in honor of Sen. John McCain,

Which does remind me--what kind of cushy deals did Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer get with related universities? 🤔

Carter’s $805 million isn’t peanuts.

University of Pa took 70 million dollars from the Chinese Communists.... During that time Joe Biden was paid $911,000 Dollars...but the University claims secrecy even against the Federal requests. Which means part of Bidens income in office was paid by the Chinese Communists.
