    The Department of Education has launched an investigation into foreign cash secretly flowing into U.S. universities and sent letters to Georgetown University and Texas A&M Thursday.
    A Senate report found that 70 percent of colleges that took money from a Chinese propaganda program broke the law by not disclosing it.
    Almost all of the colleges contracted to shape U.S. textbooks on the Middle East received massive funding from countries in the region.
...

Georgetown was also asked about possible ties to Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab, as well as Saudi Arabian money. Both schools were ordered to disclose funding from Huawei and ZTE, Chinese firms suspected of spying.

A&M has a campus in Qatar https://www.qatar.tamu.edu/

why is this insidious that Qatar contributes money to it?

investigators need to look elsewhere.
