The foreign funds are a concern but the danger primarily comes from empowering the agendas of the people who’ve made their way onto university staff.

Even $8.8 billion from Qatar is hardly a drop in the bucket given that it is spread over 40 years and university budgets are huge. You can’t buy universities with $220 million/year. Foreign students and staff are the bigger threat. See my new report dfipolicy.org/dangerous-rise…

Quite a few have asked me if I am following up on foreign funding of American higher education — and whether Middle Eastern money has shaped the curriculum that's produced a generation of students fluent in "oppressor/oppressed" framing but fuzzy on facts. Yes, I am working on some stories about this. In the meantime, a reminder that the US Dept of Education runs a searchable public database of this. Since 1986, when disclosure rules began, colleges and universities receiving $250,000+ annually from a foreign source have reported over $72 billion in gifts and contracts. The #1 country? Qatar. $8.8 billion. Ask yourself whether the country that has long hosted the political leadership of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and helped finance al-Qaeda and al-Nusra, handed over that kind of money purely to improve American higher education. #2 is China. #4 is Saudi Arabia. Search your own school. It's public. foreignfundinghighered.gov Worth noting: this site only captures what's been disclosed under the rules. There's a long, documented history of universities underreporting or missing deadlines — which is part of the story, not just the number. I'm looking into that as well.

@vkoganpolisci @DFIPolicy The most important difference is that Jews and Asians excluded were American and did not undermine the mission of inculcating future generations with an appreciation for the American political system.
English
@jaypgreene @DFIPolicy How do you distinguish arguments for limiting international students from arguments that were used to limit Jewish students in the old days (and Asian American students more recently)?

New from @henryolsenEPPC: Debating foreign students and staff at American Universities. @jaypgreene says their should be more limits; @DanielDiMartino says there should be fewer limits. tinyurl.com/ce8kf27k
English
@vkoganpolisci @DFIPolicy I agree that this simple correlation does not prove causation, as I fully acknowledge in the report, but it should cause enough worry to suggest that universities need to face the same visa limits that every other industry already experiences.
English
@jaypgreene @DFIPolicy Isn't this just reflecting selection -- most of the students HB1 students are attending highly-selective universities, which is where the protests were concentrated.

The chair of the Board (Dr. Nita Ahuja, UW-Madison) and chair-elect (Dennis Murphy, Indiana University Health) are affiliated with two of the wokest medical schools in the country. Both have expressed enthusiastic support for DEI.

New report at @donoharm on how eliminating letter grades from med schools has driven students into a publications arms-race to compete for desirable residencies. Without formal instruction on producing research, it's mostly low-quality & politicized. donoharmmedicine.org/wp-content/upl…🧵1/
English
There is real harm from diverting the energy of med students toward producing junk research. It pollutes the medical literature with bad science and it distracts students from focusing on the coursework and clinical experiences where they learn to be effective doctors. 5/end
English
The decline in the quality of medical student publications as the volume increases is masked by the fact that their professors more frequently add students as junior authors to boost their chances of getting a desired residency. 4

Universities can hire unlimited foreign workers under the H-1B visa system. DFI senior fellow @jaypgreene finds that a rise in foreign workers has led to a rise in harmful ideologies on campus.

DFI has filed a civil rights complaint against City Schools of Decatur, Georgia, for its illegal DEI and "gender identity" policies and practices. @Decaturish writes about our complaint and report exposing these violations of Title IX and Title VI.

Expanding the number of medical residencies does not require more Congressional subsidies since they are already financially attractive to hospitals, as a recent House Judiciary Committee report found. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…
English
Ugh. I don’t understand why the false claim that we have a shortage of medical residencies has gained traction among otherwise smart folks.
The Martin Center@AcademicRenewal
North Carolina doesn't have a medical-school shortage—it has a physician pipeline problem. Without more residency slots and better incentives for primary care, another medical school won't fix rural healthcare. jamesgmartin.center/2026/07/will-u…

And it's Harvard... @jaypgreene
The Martin Center@AcademicRenewal
As @DavidRandallNAS of @NASorg writes, Harvard Medical School has finally diagnosed its free speech problem. The harder part isn't writing a report—it's removing the activist bureaucracy that made reform necessary. jamesgmartin.center/2026/07/harvar…

Universities have been allowed to enroll and employ an unlimited number of people from abroad. As a result, higher education has become increasingly oriented toward the priorities of their foreign students, staff, and faculty, not American interests. washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4641900…
