InfluenceWatch Podcast #325: America’s Enemies Funding Universities?

How did universities become dens of sympathy for ideologies and factions implacably opposed to America and her allies, most recently demonstrated by the “Hamas glamper” protests at various elite campuses? Many have argued that funding of American universities by rival foreign governments and allies of America’s enemies, perhaps most prominently the People’s Republic of China and the State of Qatar, helped create the situation in which higher education now finds itself, and the House of Representatives is taking action to further scrutinize these donations. Joining us to discuss foreign funding of higher education and the DETERRENT Act proposed to scrutinize it is Angela Morabito of the Defense of Freedom Institute.
