As an Aggie, this disgusts me

A&M has received $500 million from Qatar in recent years. That's insane to even think about.

One would think it would be a no-brainer to sever the ties but I won't hold my breath.

Money rules this earth. The people who worship or have no other values or morals. Only money. Period. It’s how satan controls the weak.

Imagine how Qatar would react to the Aggie's butt sex and male cheerleaders?

It’s always been unsettling to me as well.

I did some extended post-doc work in Qatar. And while my research wasn’t at TAMU-Qatar/Education City (I was at Qatar University), my time in Doha was, unequivocally, the most disquieting period of my life.

I’m not a woman who is prone to exaggeration; on the contrary, my career and upbringing have baked into me an analytical, fact-based approach to life. But the mentality over there (even amongst supposed progressives) is anathema to the views of most of western civilization … particularly with regard to women.

At one point—despite my (daily) wearing extremely conservative dark clothing, a pashmina scarf on my head, a long skirt, and sleeves covering my wrists—a weapon was shown to me for not being sufficiently “covered.”

There are good people in Qatar. There are also people who would like to see the US and it’s inhabitants slaughtered. Just my personal experience—which was different than that of some of my colleagues.

Oh man, I can't wait to use "Texas A&M supports Hamas" over on the SEC Rant.

bro, we solid out to the woke left already anyways, who gives a frick.

besides, there are a lot of good people in Qatar.

Middle Eastern countries invest mega dollars in universities in the USA, buying degrees for their citizens. My son's friend in Idaho was an Art Instructor. He told us some of his students did not understand English, but he was instructed to pass them.

What does Qatar think of your yell crew?

Not another dime!
