• Qatar is the largest foreign donor to American higher education, surpassing contributions from other countries.
• Critics argue that this funding might promote ideologies contrary to American values, including anti-American and antisemitic sentiments.
• Major recipients include Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, and Texas A&M Universities.
• Calls for transparency regarding these contributions are growing, as they may impact academic discourse.
