Colleges and Universities Have Received Nearly $60 Billion in Foreign Gifts and Contracts, Watchdog Finds
American colleges and universities have received close to $60 billion in foreign gifts and contracts over a decades-long span, according to a new watchdog report.
Americans for Public Trust, a right-leaning dark money watchdog, found the nearly $60 billion of foreign money has gone into hundreds of colleges and universities, with 10 elite schools raking in a third of the money, raising concerns about national security and a lack of compliance with disclosure laws.
