🚨BREAKING: A new report from @ncri_io uncovers a MASSIVE surge in foreign funding to universities under Biden, and a potential pipeline of foreign cash and public funds directly promoting radicalization and terrorism on U.S. campuses. 🧵

President Donald Trump has launched an aggressive campaign against the nation’s top universities, accusing them of failing to uphold civil rights, protect women’s sports, defend free speech, and prevent the spread of antisemitism.

Now, with the NCRI report's new findings, Trump’s fight has entered a critical new phase: a confrontation over universities’ opaque financial ties that may be compromising their ideological independence and enabling radical, anti-American movements.

In April, Trump signed an EO forcing universities to disclose their foreign funding, including the source, amount, and purpose of any foreign gift exceeding $250,000.

What they found was shocking.

From 2021 to 2024 alone (during Joe Biden's term), American universities pulled in $28.96 billion in foreign gifts—more than double the amount received during Trump’s first term ($13.72 billion) and exceeding all foreign money received over the previous 40 years combined(!).

Even more alarming, yet perhaps unsurprising, the institutions that received the most foreign funding shared tremendous overlap with those engulfed in antisemitism scandals.

A subset of the data shared exclusively with The Free Press showed that:

This raises a serious question: Could foreign governments be using donations to quietly push anti-American and antisemitic ideas on campus, hiding behind the language of social justice?

The circumstantial evidence keeps growing. But what we need is hard proof.

That proof just arrived in a new intelligence report titled “Foreign Terror Pipelines in the Academy: The Case Study of SFSU and Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi,” published by NCRI and shared with me.

The discoveries are shocking and disturbing.

San Francisco State University (SFSU), a publicly funded institution with about 22,000 students, had long faced accusations of antisemitism. Lawsuits in 2017 had already forced the university into settlements over the treatment of Jewish students.

But instead of cleaning things up, SFSU’s Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Studies (AMED) program, run by Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi, got even worse—turning into what NCRI describes as a radicalization pipeline linked to designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).

Since 2020, AMED used public money to host “open classrooms” and webinars featuring convicted terrorists and affiliates of groups like Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)—all designated FTOs under U.S. law.

Among those platformed were:

These were not academic discussions, but events that praised and celebrated individuals whose life work centered on violence against civilians. University-sponsored events normalized their actions and glorified their “resistance” narratives to a captive audience of students.

Terrorist operatives were platformed through official university communications channels like SFSU’s Facebook and YouTube accounts. Taxpayer money was literally being used to push terrorist propaganda, all under the misleading cover of academic freedom.

These weren’t lapses of judgement rooted in ignorance. It was a deliberate strategy to use the prestige of a public university to legitimize and promote violent extremist ideologies.

This was not "free speech." It was the weaponization of academia.

Trump’s aggressive approach—particularly his emphasis on transparency and accountability—is not only justified but necessary. Without strong oversight and enforcement, our universities risk becoming fully captured, promoting ideologies that oppose to our values or interests.

Transparency alone won't cut it. Universities that platform terrorists must face consequences—loss of federal funding or nonprofit status, or criminal prosecution under anti-terror statutes.

The time for warnings is over. It’s time for accountability.
