In the 21st century, Qatar and other authoritarian countries have increased financial involvement in a wide scope of institutions of higher education in the United States, through the granting of significant financial donations amounting to billions of dollars.^[1][2][3]

In recent years, following the publication of reports on the subject of antisemitism in the United States, critics have argued that this financial involvement has strengthened antisemitism in higher education institutions in the US. The discourse regarding funding from authoritarian governments also includes claims that they compromise academic ethics and contribute to the erosion of democratic and liberal norms with respect to freedom of expression and academic freedom on campuses in the United States.^[2][3]
