Harvard University and Brown University collected more than $2 million combined from Palestinian entities in recent years, according to a new report released Wednesday that questioned what the universities had to do in exchange for the cash.
OpenTheBooks.com, a spending watchdog, said Harvard collected $1,575,000 in funds from the “state of Palestine.” Brown received $643,000.
And Indiana University of Pennsylvania, northeast of Pittsburgh, received $7.3 million from entities labeled, the “State of Palestine” and “Palestinian Territory Occupied.”
“American universities taking six-figure foreign funding from an area of the world dominated by terrorists raises all kinds of questions,” Adam Andrzejewski, founder of OpenTheBooks, said.
