Rise in antisemitism on college campuses linked to Middle Eastern regimes donating BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to universities

A new report has found that over 200 universities and colleges in the United States have received a combined total of over $13 billion in "undocumented contributions from foreign governments." Many of these nations come from the Middle East and have no doubt contributed to the rise in antisemitism on college campuses. This comes from the Network Contagion Research Institute's (NCRI) latest report which found that most of the funds received by American tertiary educational institutions came from some of the most authoritarian regimes in the world, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

The group's findings relied in part on a 2020 Department of Education report that revealed how billions in undeclared foreign donations made their way into major higher education institutions. Federal law requires colleges to disclose donations from foreign governments, but many schools still refuse to do so. Many of these schools that failed to disclose the origin of their donations were more likely to have received such funding from Middle Eastern governments. Worse yet, the NCRI warned that the schools that have likely received funding from Middle Eastern dictatorships have also seen a rise in anti-Israeli sentiment and intolerant behavior toward Jews and Judaism. "A massive influx of foreign, concealed donations to American institutions of higher learning, much of it from authoritarian regimes with notable support from Middle Eastern sources, reflects or supports heightened levels of intolerance towards Jews, open inquiry and free expression," read the report. The report further warned that, from 2015 to 2020, "institutions that accepted money from Middle Eastern donors had, on average, 300 percent more antisemitic incidents than those institutions that did not."

8 Ivy League universities received largest share of unreported foreign donations

The NCRI's report did not name any specific colleges where an increase in funding from "undocumented" sources coincided with an increased antisemitic climate. However, the report did point out that eight Ivy League universities "were disproportionately represented," and received the largest share of unreported foreign donations. These include Cornell University, Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania, which ranked second, third, sixth, 16th and 18th, respectively, among the top 20 universities that received funding from unreported sources. "This report raises the sobering possibility that international actors are using undisclosed channels to funnel large amounts of money into college campuses (including elite institutions that often have outsized influence on American culture and politics) for purposes harmful to the democratic norms of pluralism, tolerance and freedom," warned the authors of the report. "There clearly has been an erosion of democratic norms on campuses… These developments are surely complex and multiply determined," continued the report. "One possibility, however, is that receipt of undocumented funding from foreign sources, especially authoritarian ones, has contributed to these developments."
