A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
$690 million! Is it any wonder that there are 2 administrators to every 1 student?
And Qutar isn’t getting much in terms of educational value, according to this article, which makes you wonder what their real motivation is. https://dailynorthwestern.com/2024/05/20/campus/in-focus-as-northwestern-considers-another-decade-in-qatar-some-nu-q-students-say-campus-falls-short-of-promises/
You act if Qutar gave Wire Points a large check you would refuse it.

There is more to this when members and sympathizers of a foreign culture have to be bargained with in order to deter from making an institution, located in any community within this country, their place to exercise civil rights.
To the extent the writer reported accurately, Northwestern would clean-up its act subject to cutting-off federal funding. Predict that our government won’t do anything to resolve the issues. Financially, it’s just another taxpayers lose scenario.

LOL they’re all scumbags, these academics.
The funding by Qatar falls under ‘sponsors of terrorism’ IMHO. The CCP ‘Confucius Institutes’ were shut down at American colleges – same thing needs to happen here or remove every thin dime of Federal taxpayer funding.
$690M!!!?? Holy Crap! Why in the world would this crap hole of country donate that kind of cash to a US university? Can only assume that their intensions are nefarious.
It’s not really surprising that when one connects the dots re the Hamas backers, there is a trail of money leading to Soros, Iran etc. The notion that the champions for Hamas, Hezbollah et al are doing it out of humanitarian concern is really quite laughable.
