Plus $6,704,250 from China and $2,513,646 from Oman.
What are the chances that the University of Delaware, awash in all that cash, retains a dispassionate, objective and fearless commitment to academic inquiry regarding China and the Islamic world?
“Foreign Nations Poured Millions Into University That Houses Biden Institute,” by Alana Goodman, Washington Free Beacon, February 6, 2023:
China, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Turkey have poured millions of dollars into the University of Delaware since the school launched the Biden Institute, President Joe Biden’s domestic policy think tank led by his sister, according to U.S. Department of Education records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Since the Biden Institute was established in 2017, the University of Delaware has received $6,704,250 in funding from China, $23,610,996 from Saudi Arabia, $2,513,646 from Oman and $1,673,847 from Turkey, according to data from the U.S. Department of Education.
News of the funding comes as lawmakers have called for an investigation into President Joe Biden’s private papers housed at the University of Delaware, after federal authorities uncovered classified documents at Biden’s home and at the Penn Biden Center, the president’s other foreign-policy-focused think tank at the University of Pennsylvania. It also comes as the University of Pennsylvania has faced questions from Congress about foreign donations it received after launching the Penn Biden Center.
The University of Delaware has declined to disclose the Biden Institute’s donors and told the Free Beacon in 2020 that these records are not subject to public information laws because the Biden Institute is privately funded.
Government watchdogs said the University of Delaware’s secrecy over the Biden Institute’s funding raises questions about whether any foreign funds have gone to the think tank, which is chaired by Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, and has employed some of his top aides and political allies.
“The secrecy surrounding the suspected foreign funding of the Biden Institute at the University of Delaware is on a par with that of the Penn Biden Center of the University of Pennsylvania,” said Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center, an ethics watchdog group that has investigated both think tanks. “The House oversight committees need to uncover the dark money sources in both cases, particularly from China.”…

An article in usa today, supposedly “fact checken,” was about the school have classified documents, courtesy of biden. the paper said ‘nay,’ there were none.
i find their “fact-checking,’ to be unreliable as so much is today, in order to cover for this vile creature and his corrupt supporters.

The University of Delaware is a public
institution. The University of Pennsylvania
is a private institution. But yet they both
do not want to reveal what all this money
has been allocated for (or to which
programs it is supposed to fund) or who
on the faculty and staff will benefit. To me
this sounds like “Shut up and cover up.”

These foreign countries have been buying their way into our educational system for 30 years or more. That money comes with request for Muslim Student Unions, Muslim and Islamic Studies, Muslim/Islamic professors and department heads etc. teaching their propaganda. I’d say that almost every College and University has Islamic/Muslim money in their endowment funds. Higher education also loves the students from these countries, as the governments pay 100% of the student cost up front, cash cow as it were.
You also can’t leave China out of this either.
Why do we allow this? The selling of our Education system, Companies, Farm land to foreign governments and individuals should NOT be legal.
