    One of the least meaningful social media posts on this site, and that is very high bar to reach.

    I'm guessing at least half of the Qatar-to-U.S. money is spent on the Cornell Weill medical school in Qatar

    Good guess but evidently 100% of it is spent on radical fundamentalist Islamic indoctrination. It could never be spent on anything that would seemingly make more sense.

    pretty sure that's Qatar's TOTAL contribution for an extended time period, e.g., from 20xx to present

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatari_involvement_in_higher_education_in_the_United_States#:~:text=The research revealed that from,universities in the United States.

    Influence
    In 2022, a report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) identified Qatar as the most significant foreign donor to American universities. The research revealed that from 2001 to 2021, US higher education institutions received US$13 billion in funding from foreign sources, with Qatar contributing donations totaling $4.7 billion to universities in the United States.[1][5][6] According to the report, the institutions did not disclose these donations as required by law.[1][5][6][4]

    But does the graph even include funding for an institution that is not in the USA? Seems to contradict the labeling.

    without the source the graph is pretty useless, but Cornell's 120 million/yr over 20 years is roughly 2.5 billion right there

    This is the source.

    https://isgap.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Networks-of-Hate_5DEC.pdf

    That source refers to another source:

    https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/...college-campuses-ivy-league-middle-east-qatar

    That article states:

    Reports show Cornell University received $1.5 billion, Georgetown University received $748 million, Northwestern University received more than $586 million and Harvard University received over $187 million. These are just a few that reported the gifts and contracts.


    Professor of Political Science at Suffolk Community College Nicholas Giordano joined The National Desk’s Jan Jeffcoat to discuss the issue.

    “When you're talking about tens of billions of dollars, transferring hands from foreign governments over to the United States, there's little doubt that this money is designed to buy influence,” he said. “There has to be strings attached and that's what we think is going on, particularly on campuses in some of these countries.”


    The American Israeli Cooperative Enterprise reports Qatar as the largest funder with more than $4 billion followed by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. The same report states there are billions still not reported because of lack of compliance with the largest share coming from Qatar.

    When the former Hamas terrorist leader called for a global global day of jihad and for Muslims to support Palestine. That statement was issued from Qatar.

    ‘If you look at Carnegie Mellon, George Washington University, they actually have campuses in Qatar, and we know that Qatar is a country that's against open and free exchange of ideas and expression. So what is being taught to students on these campuses?” Giordano said. “Unfortunately, we're seeing some anti-Israel, anti-semitic propaganda that's being pushed to the student body. It's not a surprise that we're seeing these anti-Israel, pro-Hamas protests on college campuses throughout the country. “


    So you may well be correct that the money for the Qatar campus is included in that figure, and makes up a large percentage of it.

    Doesn't change the basic argument that Qatar is a questionable funder.
