Cornell University is the single largest recipient of Arab funding with over $1.5 billion gifted between 127 gifts or contracts. Students at American universities are currently exhibiting overwhelming support for Hamas and condemnation of the state of Israel.
Qatar has given American universities $4.3 billion over 35 years, according to a 2021 report by Executive Director of the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise Dr. Mitchell Bard.
“Between 1986 and 2021, colleges and universities received nearly $8.5 billion from Arab sources,” the report states.
“In recent years, Qatar have been the largest investor in universities,” Dr. Bard’s report reads. “It, too, has an image problem as a funder and supporter of terrorist groups – Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood – and the home of the rabidly anti-Israel anti-American Al Jazeera television network.”
Dr. Brad also notes that since 1976, Arab governments and individuals have been providing American universities with hundreds of grants to create chairs and centers in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies.
According to Dr. Brad’s report, Cornell is the single largest recipient of Arab funding with over $1.5 billion gifted between 127 gifts or contracts. Qatar also signed contracts with Cornell for six years prior to 2020 for the strange amount of $99,999,999.
Cornell University’s Students for Justice in Palestine (Cornell SJP) chapter has vigorously participated in nationwide students’ pro-Hamas social media campaigns—posting Instagram announcements and/or statements every single day since Oct. 10. The organization is hosting a rally on Oct. 18 to “protest the occupation in Palestine.”
Harvard University was revealed to be the 8th largest recipient of Arab funding, having received $187,133,626 over 102 gifts. The Ivy League university recently made headlines when multiple student leaders signed a statement blaming Israel for the early October terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas, and characterizing the massacre as inevitable Palestinian resistance.
New York University was revealed to be the 11th largest benefactor of Arab funding, having received $162,316,365 over 75 gifts. The elite college also found itself in the news following the Hamas attacks, when Ryna Workman lost her job at Winston & Strawn LLP due to her pro-Hamas statement, made in her capacity as NYU Law Student Bar Association President in the wake of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack in Israel.
