This is outrageous and makes one wonder what these universities are providing for this money. Are we providing military secrets or brainwashing our students with foreign propaganda? The answer is yes to both tactics used by our allies and our foes.
Harvard always seems to be at the forefront and pushing woke BS on Americans. The Harvard degree is not what it used to be, and the University does not represent America; it represents foreign entities. What a shame, how easy it is to bribe your way into our Universities and teach anti-American subjects, degrading our history. Why are these folks here in the U.S. if we are so bad? All IMO.

“Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the disclosures provide “unprecedented visibility” into foreign funding, including from countries that may pose national security risks.
Under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act, colleges must disclose foreign gifts or contracts exceeding $250,000. Republicans have long argued that some institutions don’t report such funding and have called for stricter oversight.
Qatar was the largest source of foreign funding in 2025, accounting for about $1.1 billion. Other top sources included the United Kingdom, China, Switzerland and Japan.
The website also highlights funding from what McMahon called “countries of concern,” including China, Russia and Iran. Harvard, Carnegie Mellon University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology received the most money from those countries.
Between 1986 and 2025, Harvard received more foreign funding than any of the 555 institutions reporting data to the Education Department, totaling about $610 million.
“MIT research on campus, regardless of funding source, is open and publishable, with the results available to scientists worldwide and not only in a particular country or countries,” a MIT spokesperson told Inside Higher Ed. “We follow all federal laws in accepting and reporting any such gifts or contracts.”
The released data is part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to reshape higher education and increase scrutiny of foreign influence on college campuses.”
