Three elite universities maintain partnerships with a Qatari government-funded media venture that frequently publishes editorial content critical of the United States, a Washington Examiner investigation has found....

Doha Debates, a project of the Qatari government-led Qatar Foundation, presents itself as a neutral forum... In reality, the forum advances ideas aligned with Qatar’s international interests, even at the expense of the U.S. and its allies....

Northwestern, Georgetown, and Carnegie Mellon universities, through their Qatar campuses, all have partnerships with Doha Debates. The organization capitalizing on these partnerships has pushed content to millions of viewers arguing that the U.S.’s global power is diminished, claiming that Western nations are racist, criticizing Israel, and pressuring the developed world to accept more refugees...

Doha Debates also recruits students from the trio of universities to serve in its “ambassadors” program, later tapping them to participate in the discussions it films. ...

Federal records show that Qatar has funneled billions of dollars to Northwestern, Georgetown, and Carnegie Mellon, much of which went unreported prior to government inquery...

Doha needs to be exiled from our universities same as China's "One Front" was.

Concepts like globalism, diversity and critical thinking have in reality created an education system where we attack all ideas of capitalism, patriarchy, Christian values, and American exceptionalism.

But at the same time we champion despot leaders, failed economic systems, dysfunctional values, and oppressive religions.

Being open minded is good, but don’t be so open minded that your brain falls out.

We need a USG’s FAFO website for the citizens to post their recommendations for the Administration to take actions on. Americans want to punch back five times as hard.

Here is an idea, can we freeze all foreign outside funding to universities until a review is conducted as to who and where this money is coming from

Georgetown, an ostensibly Catholic university, has gone to the dogs since it began accepting large donations from and allying with the islamic nations for the past quarter century.
