"Many US Universities accepting substantial “gifts” from the Middle East-What do we find if we “follow the money”?"
Geeze, what an awful article. This is trial by innuendo, not a work fo journalism. Instead of actually, you know, following the money, the author just makes veiled accusations and little more.
For example, google A&M Qatar and you get the following.
In 2003, Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, opened a branch campus in the Middle Eastern country of Qatar. The campus is part of Education City, a consortium of educational and research institutions hosted by Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ) offers four undergraduate engineering programs at the Education City campus: Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Petroleum Engineering.
Wanna guess the degree programs that have a fair percentage of ME students? And this has been true for decades.
If there is a ME studies course aimed at undergrads and fosters anti-Americanism, they hide it pretty well.
