re: One of our SEC Universities and money from Qatar

I just read the linked report. All of the “undocumented money” relates to the campus in Qatar, not any campus in the USA. All of the research partnerships relate to research conducted in Qatar that is funded by Qatar.
And apparently there are several US universities that have campuses in Qatar that are funded by Qatar.
The report advocates for cutting all ties and joint ventures with Qatar. They single out A&M likely to try to manipulate A&M’s large right wing American support.
This is fluff without substance, except to say that there is a university campus in Qatar with the A&M name. The oil and gas development ties between Texas and the Middle East go waaaaay back.

Oh, then I guess it’s ok.

That’s funny…I wonder why so many Texas am engineers report to me, the engineering manager, who happens to have an engineering degree from LSU.
An LSU engineering graduate in the core fields will make just as much money as a tamu engineering grad will…unless you are going into research, don’t buy the hype

This mystery isn’t difficult to solve.

No wonder there were pro Hamas protests on several campuses.

Weird. Aggies would be thrown off buildings in that neck of the woods.

LMAO.... wait until Iran, Hamas supporters in Qatar find out what A&M is joked about for being on the SEC forum. Something tells me they'll need to close sidewalk traffic around all buildings.

Who is "they"? How do we know this is accurate? How do we know this is nefarious? This clown just throws shite out with nothing but a cocked eye and hopes suspicions run rampant so that she gets attention.

Just because she says it ?
You do realize A&M and Cornell have to report that kind of money. They have to report any types of contributions to their endowments.
Ongoing problem.

Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it received records from Texas A&M indicating that it received $485,811,921.33 in grants and contracts from the Qatar Foundation.
There appear to be discrepancies between what is listed in the gift reporting received from Texas A&M and what was reported by the school to the federal foreign gift reporting system. For instance, Texas A&M’s gift record for January 1, 2013 – May 22, 2018, only lists a total of $69,844.41 from the Qatar Foundation, whereas the Department of Educaciones database shows a total of over $47 million for the same period.
The new information was released in a court victory last month in litigation on behalf of Judicial Watch client Zachor Legal Institute under the Texas Public Information Act. Zachor fought for information about the potential influence by the Qatar government’s funding of certain Texas A&M University programs and a Texas A&M campus in Education City, Al Rayyan, Qatar (Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development v. Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General (No. D-1-GN-18-006240)).

“Now we know why terrorist-linked Qatar has fought us in court to hide its financial support for Texas A&M – which we just found out is nearly a half billion dollars,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. Judicial Watch was assisted in this case by Jennifer S. Riggs of Riggs & Ray, P.C. in Austin, Texas.

Qatar has provided significant undisclosed funding to Texas A&M University and Cornell University. At Texas A&M, Qatar's funding has resulted in full ownership of over 500 research projects, many in sensitive areas like nuclear science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, biotech robotics, and weapons development[1][2][6]. This poses concerns about national security due to Qatar's control over research standards and intellectual property[2][6]. At Cornell, Qatar's contributions include substantial funding from the Qatar Foundation and other entities, though specific details on military or nuclear research grants are not highlighted in available reports[1]. However, Cornell faces funding freezes due to unrelated issues[4].

random data points dont mean anything. A&M is objectively a better academic school, specifically in engineering, but that doesnt mean that every A&M engineer is superior to every LSU engineer obviously.
